Conversation with a 4 yr. old about health

Friday lunch with grandie, Grayson: “Grandma, how’s your health?” I stopped chewing, rather surprised to hear that question pop out of his mouth so matter-of-fact. “My energy is good, Grayson, thanks for asking.” “Grandma, when I eat good food I pick up my toys faster for Mom and Dad. Water is important, too. Sugar is ok to have on one day but not every day because it makes you tired and its harder to pick up toys.” “You are so right on all that, Grayson. I’m glad you are thinking about these things.” He nods affirmatively then heads into deep conversation about Thomas the Train, Edward, Gordon and other cars’ adventures. There is so much cookin’ in that 4 yr. old brain!
