The other day, Emilee was asking for MORE ice cream. She'd already had two bowls, for pete's sake. But she wanted more. We talked about the importance of eating healthy and making our bodies strong. Her reply? "I'll eat healthy tomorrow!" Hmmm, she must have subconsciously picked up the same justifications I use every day. I told her that "Tomorrow never comes." but she just gave me a weird look and went on trying to convince me she'd wouldn't eat any junk food for a few days.
Yesterday Emilee and I were spending time together while the other two children were napping. We played UNO and snacked on Pop, chips and chocolate (those Cadbury MiniEggs just kill me every Easter). When I remarked about how we were eating such horrible snacks the strangest look came over her face. All of a sudden her jaw dropped to the floor and she remarked, "Mom, you're right! Tomorrow never DOES come!"
Do you think learning this lesson at age six will keep her from procrastinating like I do?

But at least you are spending time with your children while snacking, not just snacking without a purpose ;)
Those cadbury chocolates are worth the procrastinating :) Tomorrow might never come, but the truth is that you made TODAY count in quality time with your sweet daughter! Yea!!!
Is that a real word ? Tommorrow?
LOL
ROTFL!
What's that quote? "Today is the tomorrow you thought about yesterday?" or something like that. lol
Made me laugh! She's pretty smart!
She is so cute! I love hearing all her cute stories...smarty pants girl!
What a good lesson to learn at a young age. Because tomorrow never truly comes in terms of goals. I so love the stories you share about your daughters!
Rofl! Maybe... if you're lucky! ;)
She is such a cutie!
A perfect example of how I eat my words almost every day! ROFL!
Ditto Sunny! (and who can resist those cadbury mini-eggs?)
