Nectarines Good, Candy Bad

Today on the way home from church Kaylin was singing about nectarines. "Do you like nectarines?" I wanted to learn more about her inspiration for this melody.

"I love them. Nectarines are healthy food, right mommy? We need to eat healthy food because it's good for us. Candy is bad for us, right mommy? We don't eat candy because it's bad for us..." she then went into a confession about eating a piece of candy because "you were too far away to ask" when she was at camp.

I was so happy for this understanding I didn't know she yet had, and also proud of her confession. Later tonight Ben prayed with her before bedtime, where as usual, she carried on about whatever was currently on her mind. "Thanks for all the healthy things cuz candy makes our tummies sick so we need to eat healthy stuff cuz candy's not good for you..." She is learning at such a young age what foods God did and didn't design for our bodies. I am realizing at her age now that I need to be a better role model. I've been getting away with a lot... but now I'll be held accountable! (As I am for driving too fast, rolling through stop signs... she catches it all!)
