9/14

9/14:
Abigail:

  • sliced green peppers
  • purple grapes
  • salami wrapped around mozzarella cheese (super healthy, right?  but that kid needs more protein & calories--she is such a stick)
**Abigail told me I have been packing too much for her.  so we'll see if she finishes all of this.  she routinely comes home with a third to a half of her lunch unfinished and eats it when she gets home from school.  I would rather just give her fresh food when she gets home, so I'm trying to find a happy medium between filling her tummy and having food sitting around all day.  I am trying to find things she'll eat quickly, since she is notorious for taking 30 minutes to eat five slices of apple (nibble, nibble, nibble) and the like.

Juliet: purple grapes

  • two mini cranberry-walnut muffins
