Soda has lots of sugar!

Yesterday while we were having dinner Zaid told me that his friend at the cafeteria was drinking soda, and said: "soda is bad for you, it has alot of sugar" =))

I smiled big and asked, did you tell her?

he said, ya

then he acted how it happen lol

Zaid: why did you drink soda?

Lilly: because I like it.

Zaid: soda is bad for you.

I felt so proud of him and told him how happy and proud I am..subhanallah when you talk and explain to your kids about why we should not eat certain things, they really do understand it. When i take him with me for grocery shopping, i always make sure to point out that..like when I'm choosing a box of cereal and he chooses a different one, I always say this one is better look it has less sugar, the other one has too much sugar...etc and mashallah he never complained. Now of course sometimes he eats a candy from school, a friend, or a party but he dose not go crazy and i tell him it's ok if you want to eat one or tow..but remember when we go home first thing is to brush your teeth and he does it by himself mashallah. Even when he drink apple juice, he got into the habit of adding water by himself...

Another thing i've been teatching him is to say subhanallah, mashallah...etc The other day we were watching this show about wild animals and he said..."look at this mama, SUBHANALLAH" it was the cutest thing :)

and when we hear an ambulance while driving we say, " ya Lateef ". I used to hear baba say that when we were kids=)

Zaid ya mama you make me proud =)
