We normally pack lunches at night so that things are a little less busy in the morning. The lunches usually consist of a sandwich, something crunchy, a fruit or vegetable and one treat or yogurt. Last night, due to soccer games and procrastination on costumes for a "book parade" we didn't pack lunches. So, Karlee packed her lunch this morning while I was helping with other tasks. I asked her if she had put fruit in her lunch. Well, I just got a call from Aunt Jana who happens to work at the school, and Karlee must have been counting her two fruity pieces of candy as fruit! So this is her lunch... pretzels, a cookie, and two pieces of candy! Jana asked me if I packed her lunch! :) Then, she asked me if I wanted Karlee to buy her lunch. I decided that she would eat her lunch that she packed, treats and all, and hopefully enjoy it. But if I know Karlee, that lunch is not going to help her get through the day. Will it happen again? I would like to say no, but honestly maybe. It's one of those "not feeling like such a great mom" moments!
Ironically, she dressed up as the grouchy ladybug, from Eric Carle's The Grouchy Ladybug , today for the "book parade."
