Want a chuckle at my expense? See my daughter's drawing...

My 4 year old daughter came home from pre-k one day last week with this picture in her backpack. When I asked her why I was so much bigger than everyone else, she very matter-of-factly said, "Because you're fat, Mommy". Ahh...the unfiltered honesty of children.

When I said, "Hey! That's not nice to say," She got really sweet and said, "Aw, but you're getting skinnier!" and gave me a big hug. Gosh I love that kid.



This week she drew another picture and very proudly showed it to me and said, "Look Mommy! I made you skinny this time!" LOL.

I hung the "fat mommy" version on my fridge to keep me on target. ;)

Edited to add:
Crap. The end of the picture is cut off. Sorry. Click on it to see the full version with tall, skinny Daddy.

Awwww...that is too adorable. 

From the mouths of babes!  My boys are amazing with the whole weight thing. They couldn't care whether or not I am fat but know that it does bother me. :(
I did this for myself but mostly, to give them a better life.

Kids see the world with such honesty. You know she loves you just the way you are. I also like how the dad has such long legs. Lol

 She does love me no matter what. She's my biggest cheerleader. 

At my daughter's 5 year check up the doc asked her to draw a picture of her family. I was drawn much larger than everyone else. The pediatrician said it is quite common and is actually a function of the child perceiving us as the most  important person in their lives. I prefer that explanation!! :)

Gotta love 'em!

 I like that explanation! I am right in the middle, too.  :)

 LOL

I would ask her about Trevor as he only has one leg, no body or clothes like she does.

 LOL - I know!  She actually pointed it out to me that she forgot to give Trevor two legs. She wanted to fix it but I told her it was perfect as it was and not to change a thing. 

I had sugery on 9-26 came home 9-29 that night my 12yr old said I thought that surgery was going to make you skinny I said yeah over time he say well your fatter now than when you went in there lol gotta love kids
