And we wonder why American kids are fat.
I didn't know that legos were high in fat or sugar, thanks for the info.

Wow, I am not sure why people are being so mean in response to this. For all we know the kid is 5 and starting kindergarten - doesn't seem that strange under that scenario.

It also reminds me A LOT of that recent article re: back to school in the 70s vs now.
This was my first impression, too. No joke, I figured OP had to be a Millennial. The Lego-gifter pp I am certain was born after 1979.

interesting response. I'm OP. Maybe because my mom was a teacher our family always made a big deal out of the first day of school even in the 70s and 80s.
Our parents did too, and we grew up poor in the 70s-80s.
I hardly think an ice cream cone on the first day of school does anything to contribute to self centered children.
A special meal or desert on a special day is a simple and not over indulgent celebration.

The lead-up to the first day of school was all so exciting. Meeting teachers, packing backpacks, choosing outfits, seeing friends as we walked in the door. Sitting at work seems like such a let-down while DC is doing all sorts of new and fun things. I can't wait for pick-up to hear all about it. I know I'll probably get a lot of fine's and okay's and it was good's, but I'm hopeful that I'll get a sense of what the new year will bring.
Anyone else watching the clock?
