Alexis is smart

This is a really old picture of Alexis, (I think that she is about Brytlee's age in this picture) I love it and thought I would post it with a couple of funny pictures.

Ryan and Alexis had a great conversation the other night while Alexis was doing homework. She gets a little frustrated when she doesn't know an answer or gets something wrong, and starts going on and on about how terrible everything is, and boo hoo hoo.... So she starts into "I'm not smart" so Ryan said, "Alexis, you are very smart". So Alexis say's, "I am only smart at two thing, I am a good reader, and I can remember what Jesus looked like".
The other day when she was in this same kind of mood, she came up to me and started to complain about everything and anything, and on her rampage, she started saying, "see this part right her on my leg, it is so fat". I about fell over laughing..... and just said, "where on earth did you hear something like that, and why would you ever think that you are fat.... you don't have a ounce of fat on you". Then she said so serious and dramatic, "I'm just a big fatty", and then she ran off making all sorts of noice, and an even more dramatic exit.
and fyi.... I have never said anything about being fat in front of my kids, so I have no idea where that came from? The things they learn from friends and school....

I don't know how the kids pick up on the fat thing either. We've really never said anything about that and the other day while eating lunch Chalise said, "We better go get some exercise so we don't get all skinny or fat!" Your girls are so cute.
