beautiful bodies

Today I tried on bathing suits, which is never a pleasant experience. But it's crazy how much being pregnant and having children has changed my body image. Before having kids, I allowed myself to focus on all the negatives. But after being so big during my pregnancies, I'm much more able to appreciate the positives.

This afternoon the front door was open while I was changing a light bulb on the porch. Canon came out in just her underwear and took off down the sidewalk, completely free. I hope I am able to instill in my girls a healthy body image. I hope they always know how beautiful they are. Bodies are beautiful.

With a streaking Canon on the loose, now you neighbors have better things to complain about than your unruly crepe myrtles.

Streaking goes on quite frequently in my house. If I allowed Bella, she'd go everywhere naked. Like you, I hope she will keep a healthy body image and always love her body as much as she does now. We just have to live up to the challenge of being great role models!

That photo of canon reminds me of my sister.
She hated clothes when we were little. She'd strip down at every chance she got.
And now?
Well... she's 21 and still strips down to her undies when she comes home.
Some things never change.
