Sunday My DH & I took my 5 yr old step daughter to Brunch. It was an all you can eat buffet--my husband & I gorged ourselves, literally( for one meal off), meanwhile, we let hsi daughter choose what she wanted, she was able to get it herself-she old comes back with a box of special K cereal "I think its good for my heart" she said. I was surprised to hear this, I would have expected her to go for the doughnuts.
Next she had a bowl of fruit, " This is healthy " she told us.
Later she had a pancake, but requested sugar free syrup.

Are you kidding me? We sat there in awe that she's learned so much from our habits- recenly my mom had a heart problem scare and we were all about doing things for our hearts...I had no idea she would pick up on that at 5 years old and be able to make the healthy eating decisions we all should be making anyway.

I was so happy to see that, but of course we were horrible eating examples for that meal- but at least she's learning!! Made me feel good!

    That's awesome! It's such a testimony to how much kids actually pay attention when we think they have no idea! Makes you want to really watch what you say around them!

    BTW: I keep seeing everyone use the term "DH" What does that mean??
