\'I Am Curvy!\'

Olivia was born as a "skinny" baby at 6 lbs 3 oz but she quickly caught up and went into the 95% weight and height range within just a couple of months and has stayed there ever since. She has always had a 小肚腩 (little tummy) and she's got the butt. So her body is actually "S" shape tooJ.

Depending on the season, her tummy can be rather big during winter when she does not exercise as much or smaller during the summer. Occasionally we would tease about it.

Last night after dinner, after I told her it was too late for them to eat sweet stuff, Olivia challenged me:" Mom, just because I have this (she patted her tummy), doesn't mean I can not eat ice cream."

She then stood up and showed me her side view:" Mom, look! I am not fat, I am just curvy! Even though my tummy is sticking out, my back is curved in. So if somehow I can suck in my tummy and straighten out my back, I will be in perfect shape! But I just can't!"  

Haha...that was some interesting justification and I thought it was funny for an eight-year old to claim that she is "curvy"J.
