My two little piggies didn't want to go to school today.
It's nearing the end of the year, and the motivation to get out the door and to school on time is certainly flagging. This morning my third grader said she didn't want to go to school because, "I'm tired and everything is droopy." That gave me such a chuckle that I had to give her a hug and let her be late. She's a straight-A student and has hardly missed a day this entire year, so she earned one lazy morning.
As for the piggy bento, my toddler got watermelon bites and cheese columns with adorable piggy bento picks, as well as a piggy cheese face atop crackers. The pink pig head container contained parmesan (why is the spell-check saying that's not right?) cheese. My little guy loves parm so much, he'd practically snort it if I'd let him. This I packed for him to sprinkle on the spaghetti that went via thermos. (I think it's time for me to get a multi-layer bento box, BTW.) In case you're wondering, those are raisins under the piggy head. And finally, the "joyful pig" box contained a little something sweet. In this case, two jelly beans. Just enough to make him smile. And that's what it's all about.
On another note, today was the last day to turn in our fundraising forms for the St. Jude's Children's Hospital Toddler Trike-athon at my son's school. Being that last minute is the only time anything gets properly done, we canvassed the neighborhood last night in an earnest request for donations. Thanks to all the kind neighbors who contributed!
Happy Bento'ing!
