Ayesha Curry’s son is keeping her in check.

The actress, 35, was interviewed by Haute Beauty and shared that her 6-year-old son Canon has entered his radically honest era. Ayesha shares her four kids — Riley, 12, Ryan, 9, Canon, 6, and son Caius, whom she welcomed in May — with husband Stephen Curry, 36.

“My 6-year-old son will humble you real fast,” Ayesha said of her son Canon. “He’s still at the phase of brutal, innocent honesty.”

“He’s done this three times now: he’ll run in the kitchen and be like, ‘Mom, are you having another baby? Your belly looks big.’ I’m like, ‘No, I’m not.’ Actually, I just lost three pounds. I don’t say it to him, but in my head I’m like, ‘Dang, you got me again!'”

In November, Ayesha spoke with PEOPLE about what she was most looking forward to during the holiday season after welcoming her baby son Caius earlier this year.

“We just had his stocking made. Never thought we’d be making another stocking, and yet here we are,” Ayesha told PEOPLE. “And so I think it’s going to be a big deal in a couple of weeks when we go to hang up that extra stocking that we didn’t know we needed but now couldn’t have it any other way.”

“I think that’s going to be really, really exciting and nostalgic. And I’m such a crier, I’m sure I’ll cry, but I think that’s great. He’s still little, so he’s not going to know what the heck’s going on, but I think the other kids will be able to build those memories.”

In September, the chef shared the first photo of her family of six on Instagram, featuring all four of the couple’s kids. In the snap, the proud mom stood next to her husband while holding the couple’s youngest, son Caius. The NBA star had one arm around his wife, and in the other, he held their son Canon.

To Stephen’s left, their oldest child, daughter Riley, looked all grown up as she leaned against a tree and softly smiled at the camera, while their younger daughter Ryan leaned on her mom’s arm and lovingly gazed at Caius.

“My little family. So grateful,” Ayesha wrote in her caption.
