Week 1 Day 2 - Fun Shaped Turkey Sandwiches

Little Man did amazingly well for his first day at preschool!  We started the day playing in the playground.  Then I helped him get settled in his classroom.  He sat at the table with the other kids for snack time then I told him I had to leave but I'll be back later.  He got up, gave me a big hug and said "I love you mommy".  Then took one of his teacher's hand and headed to circle time all by himself without crying.  I was amazed and a bit sad to see how much he's grown up.  Not long ago, he would have never let me out of his sight without crying hysterically.

Got a great report by one of his teachers that he did great for his first day and they couldn't have asked for anything more.  He ate his lunch, and they mentioned how impressed they were with his lunch!  Then he even napped!  I guess he was more ready for preschool than I expected him to be.

My bento supplies still have not arrived yet so I'm going with what I have on-hand for day 2.




For day 2 we are having
  • Turkey and cream cheese sandwiches.  I spread the cream cheese on the bread, put one slice of turkey (it was a pretty thick Costco slice).  Then I flattened the sandwich out to make it easier to cut with the cookie cutters.  It also makes it easier to eat for Little Man.  I made fun shapes by using mini cookie cutters.  2 stars, 2 chickens, 2 teddy bears and a giraffe. 
  • 1 clementine
  • Blueberries
  • GoGo Squeez apple sauce
  • Chocolate milk
  • And for something a little sweet, 5 Raisinettes
I also ordered some reusable lunch containers from EasyLunchBoxes.com which look great for bento style lunches.  Hopefully it will come by the end of the week!  But for day 2, I'm using the Klip-It Lunch Cube again.  The food did get all tossed around so the presentation wasn't great once it was opened at lunch time but it will have to do.
