Too Much Sugar

I picked the kids up at school today. I noticed John had different pants on. I asked him what happened. He said "I spilled water on my pants. Just water. And you know what? You need to give me a different drink with my lunch!" Then he proceeded to lecture me on how his juice box has sugar in it. "And you know what sugar makes you crazy! I need to drink water. It keeps you hydrated and has no sugar!" It didn't stop there. When we got home, he told Daddy "You know Daddy, you shouldn't drink soda. It's got sugar in it! You should drink water. You know why? Water has none sugar in it!" So it turns out that John had Amazing Athletes today and coach explained to the kids about how drinking water is good for them and they should limit their number of sugary drinks.

The kids went to bed around 8 and I went I check on them around 8:45 (like I do every night). Gillian was asleep (rare for her) and John was awake (rare for him). I climbed into bed with him and asked him why he was still awake. He said "I don't know. I've been trying to fall asleep and I can't. I think it's from all the sugar!"
