We have a daughter who is now old enough to go to school 5 days a week.  Because we both work, she stays for lunch and therefore needs a lunch and two snacks packed every. single. day.

Before I had kids I really didn’t realize how difficult it is to pack 5 lunches and 10 snacks every week that are nutritious and have some remote likelihood of being ingested by a 5 year old.

You go get some groceries on the weekend, you spend some time packing a kick-ass lunch for her on Sunday night, but as the week wears on, and the groceries and patience start to wear thin, things can get a bit less well-rounded . . .

Before I had kids I thought that children should eat well-rounded, balanced meals.  I did not realize that a three year old eating anything is in itself a victory. 

Four french fries dipped in 8 tablespoons of ketchup?  Victory.  Peanut butter toast dipped in ketchup?  Victory.  Ketchup with a spoon?  You’d better believe it . . . that’s a bloody victory and don’t ever let anybody tell you different.
