Things about life, health, and body image that I'm trying to learn from my 2 year old...

1. Legs are for running. Fast. Wildly. Without caring what the world thinks.
2. When I'm full...I push the plate of food away. "Aw done" means all done.
3. Sometimes it's okay to just eat the french fries. I'll have fruit and veggies (and nothing else) tomorrow. And maybe just meat the next day. It all evens out.
4. My belly is something to be appreciated and marveled at (although I don't believe I'll go so far as to show it to perfect strangers).
5. Melting down every now and again is perfectly normal. You recover and move on.
6. Sometimes all you need is a hug.
7. It's great to notice every flower you pass. And every leaf. And every car. Well...maybe not every car...
8. Smiling at strangers isn't necessarily a bad thing.
9. No fear.
10. Curling up with a good book is a great way to pass the time.
11. Helping others is very important. Very, very important.
12. Being outside is WAY better than being inside.
13. Quit counting calories. Listen to your body. It knows what it needs.
    
14. Sometimes changing the way you look at things suddenly makes life very clear.
    

Man...that kid's a genius. :)
