Its Back to School Time and in our house this week that means a new routine.. I've voted and since my vote means Majority, I happened to win... Imagine that? *smile*
My Kiddo is in Second Grade, and this means he is entirely capable of making his own lunches! I will assist as needed, I will reach things, even cut them if needed... But Lunches are on him from this point forward....
Do you hear me checking one thing off my morning to do list.... CHECK!
I've prepped him all Summer that this was the big year that he would be making his own lunches...
Instead of him helping me... I will be helping him... When yesterday got here, I told him to draw up a grocery list, so we were sure to have what he needed... Well he heard the word "draw" and physically DREW a picture of his lunchbox and what each container would hold... Cool, what ever works, right?
Then off to the store we went .. and Home to make his lunch.. No Fuss, No Muss... This morning, all we had to do was fill the car and make smoothies... Everything else was done. SOOOoooooo Easy!!!
He wasn't originally thrilled to make his lunch, but did it anyway. And this morning he said he was more happy about it since he was getting exactly what he wanted.
Today, upon getting home, he cleaned out his own lunchbox and filled it back up for tomorrow! This is a wonderful routine! My mornings for Second Grade will be So much easier...
I think I'm going to like Second grade!!!
