Sophie

Today Sophie was doing my exercise video with me and she says, "How many times do you have to do this before your body looks like hers?" I said, "Probably every day", and she says, "Well, I just don't want to have breasts like hers." I started laughing and told her she could do this video every day wouldn't need to worry about that because she wouldn't get breasts until she was older. Funny girl! I could just see her mind working and her worrying that doing the video would make her 7 year old body look like Tamilee.

Infomercials are effective.

While talking to Sophie about the possibility of moving to El Paso, Texas I said "We might get to learn Spanish because lots of people speak Spanish down there." She thought about it for a second and then said, "Hey - we might need to get Rosetta Stone!" Totally made my day. And she really only watches one show (The Magic School Bus) after school, but it always has an infomercial play in the middle of it.

This morning while putting on her gym shoes Sophie said to me:

"I think I'm going to run a marathon this summer."
