"Stupid" Debunked

We busted the culprit. It's 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and it's been the kids' favorite movie lately. When I asked Callie where she got the word "stupid" from, she said, "Meatballs has it!", and she was right too. There's a part during the movie where the dude sprays his feet with rubber shoes that he can't take off. All the kids at school call him "Stupid!" and my nuggets have been watching it constantly since before Christmas.

I'm just glad that she didn't get it from me! (Our cat is stupid and I'm sure we address him as such from time to time.) Callie felt bad about it too because she ashamedly said, "I not tell you that anyyyy more!" without even being prompted. Little thing. She didn't mean it and I honestly think it was one of the first times she realized you can hurt people with words also.

Anyway, miss thing started gymnastics a couple weeks ago and she loves it! She's so bouncy and smiley during class and just absolutely shines! She's really good at listening to the teacher and following directions. I could literally melt when she is doing something challenging and glances over to make sure I'm watching her. Not only do I have the privilege of being this baby's mother, but she hopes that she's making me proud!

If she only knew...

Truth is, the most important thing to me in this entire lifetime is that they are proud of me.
