A Healthy Cheer

Alexis has been in her glory at cheerleading camp this week so Max has to figure out a way to entertain himself. Without his favorite playmate, he is a little lost. On wednesday, he had to endure playing at my office for a little while. I guess he wore himself out though because he fell asleep on our 10 minute ride to get Lexi. We picked her up and on the way home, Alexis was informing us about her day. We heard all about the jumps and cheers and games. Then she looks very serious and says that she had to eat chocolate Teddy bears for a snack because there were no healthy choices. I love that about her!!!! She loves being healthy and always asks me if something is good for her body. Her ballet teacher often talks about being healthy and eating well and we do talk about it at home too but a lot of it is on her own. The next day she came home and even remembered some of her dance and was quite obliging to show anyone who would watch and a few who didn't watch. She then says, "I had potato chips today for snack. Is that healthier than chocolate Teddy Grahams?". We discussed how it was okay to eat what they gave her and once in a while all that stuff is fine because we try to eat well on a regular basis. She is just so darn cute! And today I made kale chips and she was quite the fan!

Here is our little cheerleader (and a healthy one at that!)!!!
