I am more of a Rachel Ray fan. Here recipes just seem easier.

We love RAchel Ray too. Paula Dean just cracks me up with the butter though.

Well I was just wondering if it was a recent thing because I thought maybe some of the other kids said something that made her think she should not eat. I have heard of situations about kids (especially girls) at even really young ages talking about how they should diet because they are fat, etc. I wondered if maybe there was some "peer pressure" to not eat her lunch.

However, it sounds like this has been an ongoing food issue.

Isn't that amazing - first grade and kids tell each other they are fat and should not eat . . .

I was a fat kid, and in those days, they would call you fat, but somehow there was not that correlation with being fat and eating too much . . . nobody ever said you eat too much. I listened to an interesting show on "This American Life" about Americans living in Paris - the interesting thing is how Americans look at food like "medicine" and the French NEVER look at food that way. To them, food is a pleasure.

I think I am part French too . . .

Anyway, I took Sophia to the mall while DW was working today for school shoes, and they have this new photo place there called "Sadie's". All kinds of elaborate sets and costumes. You know I wasn't getting out of there cheap!

Anyway, I now have several cute photos of Sophia as a fairy - really cute, but not cheap. They take them all digital, but of course they do not give you a digital copy. Maybe I will scan some of them.

Her sweet little friends have all been made fun of at different schools. One little boy told her friend she was the fattest girl he had ever seen. DD is 6 in the 90th percentile for height and she weighs 52 pounds. She still wears a size 6 in skirts so I don't think anyone would make fun of her, but you never know. I will ask. Or maybe it's just that her friends are being made fun of and it stresses her out that she will gain weight. How come kids are so mean these days?

The girl that lives next us, she is in fifth grade, tells Sophia that she is fat all the time. So Sophia is always asking us am I fat, Michelle says I am. Somedayhs i just want to go and get that little girl.
