Weight Watchers for everyone

Madelyn: Mom, what are we having for supper?

Me: I am making a new recipe. Chicken Tortellini and Spinach Soup

Madelyn (long pause): Is it Weight Watchers?

Me (deciding if I should be honest): Yes it is.

Madelyn: Good I need to watch my weight.

I kind of laughed to myself for a minute. Then I felt a little disturbed about it. She is only 6..she should be worrying about what color she wants me to paint her nails next. Not her weight. But if I teach her healthy eating habits now, she won't worry about it when she is my age. So maybe it's not all that bad. At least she likes my WW meatloaf...which I will have to say is yummy and only 4 pts for a huge piece. Now I just have to convince Pete to eat it!

Madelyn thought he would be so CUTE with this outfit on. We had to take it off before Pete got home. Andrew didn't mind it at all. I hope this doesn't become an on going thing when he gets older.
