Milk - it does a body good

So with Lilly being in preschool

and us not being allowed to pack a cold lunch

(a rule in the program...that I did not know about)

we are trying very hard to teach her

healthy eating habits

even when we are not there looking over her shoulder

We go over the lunch menu every night

and discuss what would be healthy choices

She is doing very well

and always visits the salad bar

to get her fruits & veggies

and tends to shy away from more of the processed foods

not completely mind you - I mean she is a kid

and they have chicken nuggets!

We just want to make sure her meals are balanced

The teacher has informed us

that Lilly is one of the healthiest eaters in her class

Yaaa!

One of our healthy choices

is to choose white milk over chocolate milk

except on Fridays

because we are also trying to teach her

about moderation

Well my lovely daughter has taken it one step further

Yesterday the teacher told us Lilly was explaining to

the other kids in line (who were picking out chocolate milk)

that they weren't making very healthy choices

and that they needed the white milk to

help them grow up healthy & strong

Is it horrible that this made me laugh out loud

...but also made me proud?
