Vivi:  “Mom, when I was three I could stomp my foot and my leg would not jiggle.  Now, I am five and my leg jiggles when I stomp my foot and when I run fast.”

It’s not like she’s obese or anything–25th percentile in her height, 50th in her weight.  But the fact that she notices “jiggle,” combined with her preoccupation for looking at herself in the mirror every chance she gets, freaks me out a little bit.

Sigh.

Motherhood is a bumpy ride . . . that makes my legs jiggle, too.
