[quote=Anonymous]One of each.

We have a rule that you empty your lunch box and clean it and put it on the drying rack when you get home. Always. If kid has activities or is getting sick or something, I do it. We do it on Friday too so it doesn't get forgotten in the backpack and then you have a 2 day old dirty lunch box you have to clean on Sunday. I also hate washing a dirty lunch box in the morning and I figured this out in K and we created a system so that never happens.

Regarding things getting lost, I intentionally do not buy backups for the lunch box. If the lunchbox gets left somewhere, kid does school lunch or can pack a lunch in a regular Tupperware (which means no cold items since it's not insulated) either until it's found or we buy a replacement. We have had to replace a few things over the years, but not much, because my kid hates school lunch and that's pretty motivating to make sure she puts her lunchbox back in her backpack.

We do have a couple back up water bottles but they are cheaper and not insulated, so not as liked. Again, this incentivizes taking care of the "good" water bottle. We've replaced water bottles more frequently than the lunch bag/bento box, but it still makes it home about 90% of the time.[/quote]
