Muscles

Today while the boys were getting ready for school, Carson calls from the bathroom for me. I was busy making lunches so I was a little bugged, but I walked into the bathroom anyways. Carson, with the proudest face a 7 yr old can muster, is flexing his bicep in the mirror. He says with all kinds of enthusiasm, "Mom! My muscle is now coming out of my body! Look at all those bumps (meaning his shoulder, bicep, and tricep)" It was so funny to watch this little boy be so excited about his skinny little arms. He was right, I was really impressed at how defined they were (I think from lack of one ounce of fat!) Every day has a learning moment (or two...or a hundred) in it for me. I didn't realize body image would start this young for them! They are the best boys ever!!! I love that they have so much enthusiasm for life. They will keep me so much younger for so much longer. Thank goodness for that! They want to ea start taking a night and running with me. (I thought that could be some fun one on one time with each of them as well as learning good healthy habits!) I love my life!
