She's One, You Know

Dearest Scouters. I love you because you are, quite possibly, the cutest, most fun, most enchanting girl I know. Hope one is the best year yet!

went to the doctor yesterday to see if there is a reason i'm so ridiculously exhausted ALL the time. she took some blood, i've yet to hear back.
we did have this conversation however,

doc: Your BMI is 24. 25 is considered overweight.
me:  shocked silence. what is this 5'3" 92 lb. person trying to say?
doc:  I don't know if you've lost all your baby weight, yet...
me:   Um, I still have 8-10 lbs to go.
doc:  Well, you just might want to keep an eye on this because it can tend to creep up slowly.
me:  seriously? are you really almost calling me "fat"?
doc:  You don't look bad, though.
me:  Um, thanks.

i wish every person had to struggle with weight and food issues just so they wouldn't say stupid things like that. i then went home and relayed the conversation to my husband (who also has never struggled with a weight problem). i did give him fair warning that the inappropriate response would be to agree with the doctor. he was a good husband and was on my side... kiss kiss, brent.

"mom, i have a great idea,"

"oh, yeah? what's that?"

"july 15th for you!"

"oh. well, thank you!"

--No, I don't know what this means. It's just a recent conversation we had. Love my boy!--
