Billy’s decision

IMG_1429When Billy started school, we decided that he should eat school lunch. He is a picky eater and we hoped that by eating lunch at school he would try new things.  He was excited about eating lunch at school and did so for the first month and half.  He did really well with eating different things and even learned that he liked things that he thought he didn’t.  Last week, he begged to bring his lunch to school.  So we picked a day that we knew he wouldn’t eat the main course at school and would get pb&j.  Well he’s been taking his lunch for a week now.  I think it’s the novelty of the lunch box.  I asked him who brought their lunch to school and of course he named his best friend.  Bill told him that he was going to start eating school lunch again and of course there were protests.  I asked him why he wanted to bring his lunch in the first place and he said that one day he had to get chocolate milk instead of white because they ran out.  This apparently put him over the edge.  He said I don’t like chocolate milk so I decided right then and there, I was bringing my lunch!  Well, my boy, I hope they have enough white milk to go around tomorrow because it’s back to the lunch line.

  1. Riley ate NOTHING until she started school. We don’t know how she ate enought to stay alive. Then she started pre-k and was such a rule follower that she’d clean her tray everyday.
