This evening for bedtime, the kids and I were reading a book about penguins learning their habitats, mating. all that good stuff. We got to the part about how they survive in the cold and I stopped and did a little personal science lesson about blubber and we talked about all the different animals, walruses, polar bears, seals that have blubber to insulate them and keep them warm even in all that snow.
"That's why we can't stay out in the snow. We don't have lots of blubber." they both explained to me.
"But Mommy!" they both shouted very excitedly "You can stay outside in the snow!!" They then proceeded to grab my tummy and show me all my blubber. Hmmm....time to hit the gym??
