At what age do start to worry about your body image?.....Well, apparently at age 4. I picked up Ashlynn from school and asked her what she wanted for lunch she says to me, "Mom, I don't want to eat anything because my tummy is getting too big, and I want to be smaller." I was in shock and could not believe I just heard her say that sentence. At first, I honestly didn't know what to say. She is the perfect size for her little body. As Spongebob Squarepants would say, "This is not happening!" I still have no idea what inspired her to question her image, but we had a talk (as much as a cute 4 year old could understand) and had a good lunch together.
Look at this beautiful girl!
She loves to accessorize her outfits.
She picked this scarf out of her dress up drawer and
it matched perfectly with her church dress.
She even wrapped it around her the way she wanted it.
Too cute!
Look at this beautiful girl!

She's way too young for that! I remember Laura telling the story of when Caleigh came out of her room and announced she had nothing to wear - I think she was three. They grow up way too fast! She is such a perfect four year old - it is so sad that this would cross her mind! I for one hereby vow never to mention weight, diets, or anything like it in her presence!!! I will, however, compliment her accessorizing. I love her girlie girl side :)
Hey that is an interesting thing for a little girl to say. At least it's not vice versa, one morning before kindergaten I told Taeya I was comming to volunteer and she said umm your not wearing your hair like that are. Lol
