Earlier today I was putting some sheets away in the linen closet when Sky slipped in beneath me and pulled out the scale. She dragged it into the hallway and for a while it fascinated her just to step on, step off, back on, etc. Then she noticed the numbers and that little red moving line and her face grew very serious. I grabbed my camera as she frowned in concentration. “Aw honey,” I said, laughing at her concerned expression. “We’ve all been there.” A few seconds later she looked up at me and grinned and started dancing around on the scale. I’m not really sure what her thoughts were in that moment or why she was suddenly so happy. But the next time I get on a scale and find myself a little too worked up over what it tells me, I’m going to remember my baby girl. Sometimes kids are just so smart.
That is too cute! And very wise of her to realize scales are meant to be danced on, not frowned over. Smart kiddo there!
