LOL. Don't you feel clever for it?
Yeah, I am trying not to feel embarassed. Mostly it is my insecurity about my weight that embarasses me most - when she points to my thigh/bottom and asks what's that, I tell her that's mummy's oversized bottom Stupid. I just have to get over it.

I know it's hard in our culture but try NOT to focus on your weight to her. She believes you to be the perfect woman - you're all she knows and she adores you. I once told DD "what's that" was mama's fat thighs and she spent the rest of the day pinching her OWN thighs and saying sadly "all fat now" Felt like crap i can tell you!

I don't want DD to be overweight for her physical health, but if she IS ever overweight i want her to recognise her worth, attractivness and right to Be no matter how heavy she is. You might feel your fat is ugly, but YOU are not fat, you are a LOT more than that, and you, ALL of you, however much that is, is what your DD wants and needs and loves.

I generally go with "That's mama's leg, where's DD's leg?" so she can point and try to keep my own opinions on said thighs out of it now. I can imagine that if *I* am her idea of "perfect" womanhood, as every mama starts off being to her child, it must be quite a shock to realise mama herself actually dislikes this perfect form. It's a confused message if the person you KNOW is perfect tells you they aren't.

She comes out with some hilarious stuff sometimes. A few weeks ago she came into the bedroom first thing with her bedtime lamb (favourite ever teddy) and said "ee's getting is milk". I said "where does bedtime lamb get his milk from?" and she replied "Out ee's tiny little boobs" then, pulling back the duvet to get a good look, "DD and beemlamb's got little boobs but mama's got big big BIG boobs!" LOL.

I've done it too hun and if I'm home with Izzy and need to go she won't let me go and shut the door so she comes in with me. our bathroom is kinda big and she sits on the floor near the bath and plays with her bath toys til I'm done. Being a mum is SO not glamourous at times!!
