[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the "pack a lunch in the morning". On school holidays, when my LO is off (and at home) but DH and I are working, I pack a lunch just like I would for a school day and stick it in the fridge. LO has, since age 3, known how to go to the fridge, get the lunchbox, go to the dining room, and eat on their own. LO, at 4, was also capable of prepping basic food, like make a sandwich. I color-coded bins -- meat, carb, veg/fruit, and dairy -- and LO could put together a lunch by taking one item from an item from a bin with a color sticker. (i.e. taking cold chicken from a fridge bin marked with a red sticker, take yogurt from a fridge bin or cheese whisps from a pantry bin marked with blue stickers, etc.) Another reasonable alternative is to warm everyone's lunch at the same time and then put the kid lunches into thermoses, so they stay warm and at safe temperatures.[/quote] Stop with the “little one” BS. It’s so grating.[/quote]
