Calories

I was going to take advantage of Haden sleeping and spend time with Regan. I asked her is she wanted to make a treat together. She asked if it "had a lot of calories in it?" Now I admit, we talk about eating healthfully on a regular basis, but seriously? Apparently a show on PBS, The Big Green Rabbit, had an episode about calories which Regan obviously paid close attention to. Upon further questioning, she didn't really understand what calories did, but that we got them from our food. So, never underestimate how much three year olds can absorb. (We did make a treat, but then I felt guilty eating all those calories!)
