Tummy

Joel is very conscious of people commenting that he is putting on weight. He is only 5 (will be 6 this October) but he is very particular about his size. He wants to be a skinny boy not a fat boy. The following are some example of how conscious he is:

The moment my sister Ivy (his aunt Ivy) (or anyone) said to him "Joel, you have put on weight", he would quickly breath in to "tug in " his tummy.

Once he was laying on the bed, he asked me to lie down on him. I told him he will be "flaten". he said "good, then my tummy will also be flaten".

If he lie down after his bottle of milk, just have to tell him "your tummy will grow bigger if you lie down" and he will quickly sit up.
