I am having so much fun preparing Sophie's school lunches in the Laptop Lunchbox that we ordered her. She loves it and it's easy to use and fun. David laughed at me this morning for taking photos of her lunch. :) But I am enjoying it and it has given me a new way to get her to eat a more varied diet, we have talked together about what to put in it, we have talked about good nutrition and why its important, and how as you get older your tastes change and you might like something one day that you didn't use to like. So she has agreed to at least try everything that is in her lunch, and I make it a point to put one new thing in it each day.Making certain that she has enough of things that I know she will eat. 
Yesterday's lunch at the top consisted of a star-shaped cheese sandwich, unsweetened applesauce, baby carrots, and Annie's Organic Bunny Grahams, plus a Pocky in the napkin.
Today's lunch is peas/corn, gold fish crackers, apple slices with caramel dip, and cheese cubes. (The cheese cubes are the new thing, Sophie is an American slices cheese eater, so these are Colby/Jack.) Oh and a Pocky in the napkin again. So fun!
Sure, it takes a 'little' extra work, but I plan what to pack the night before, and it only takes about 10-15 minutes to pack it up in the morning. And after reading this blog, I am determined that Sophie eat food from home, school lunches leave a lot to be desired, not to mention, her being vegetarian, there is not a lot she could eat at the school. The school will give her PB&J, but who wants to eat that every day? I am sure there will be more of these kind of posts, it's just so fun. Bon Appetite!
