Lunch

For the past two days Jack has insisted on bringing "lunch" to school with him. The preschool he goes to provides lunch, which he is only there two days a week for so we never have packed. He took a gogurt, two packages of fruit snacks and a juice box yesterday and today was a danimal, fruit roll up, fruit snacks and a juice box. I helped him put them in a bag and when we got to school we put them in the refrigerator and he went out to the playground. He has these things he just does and it's better to go with the flow, besides - what harm is it if he brings some snacks to school right? If anything he can eat them and drink his juice on his way home. It hit me this afternoon after I picked him up from school, he wants to pack lunch for school like Ashley. He sees her pack her lunch every morning so he wants to do it just like her. Another step of independance ... this is happening all too quick for me. As much as I am looking forward to when he gets older part of me wishes we could turn back time.
