Joel narrowly missed passing his military fitness test last fall by a couple of sit ups. It seemed so silly because he can literally run circles around me & is in really great shape. So when he came home & told me, he had a great sense of humor about it. Not passing meant he would have to attend a class about nutrition & being healthy. He jokingly named it "Fat Camp".
This month Joel got to retake his fitness test & at dinner that night he had a celebratory glass of wine. Jackie asked him what he was celebrating & he said, "Well, I passed my fitness test at work." Jackie jumped up in her chair, started clapping and immediately shouted "YAY DADDY, no more FAT CAMP!" I laughed the best laugh!
Yep, you can't keep a thing in the world from your kids--they hear everything you say & watch everything you do! I hope the good stuff sticks!
Love this!
