There are many, many articles in various parenting magazines regarding the lunch box quandry. What to pack, how to pack, how much to pack, how to tempt little appetites, and keep nutrition front and foremost as well. I even once read an article on bento-box lunches for kids. Really cute ideas (think rice shaped into tiny mice with ham for whiskers) but who has got the time, energy and motivation for that every single day?
Well, after one too many complaints about not liking the sandwich, and that Daddy packed the fruit they didn't like, and seeing half-eaten lunches, our household has come up with a solution. Or rather, Devlin did. They are packing their own lunches!
Before bed, they march down to the kitchen, and start organizing their lunches. Snacks, fruits, sandwiches. Even Aisling!
(It still looks like the same lunch that their Dad packed every morning.)
It's been two days since we've started this new regime. Let's see how long it lasts.
