Colin came home today as "King of the day", not really sure what that meant except that he said he could pick what "center" he wanted first. One of the interesting things about having a kindergartner is that you never really know what they are doing at school. For example, I asked him today what he had for lunch and he said "I had the best cheeseburger ever, it had candy on it"?? I have no idea what he is talking about and highly doubt the school lunch included candy!
Speaking of school lunch...Colin's school participates in lunchmoney.com. It is so neat, I can put money on his account and have it so it automatically takes money from my credit card to pay for his meals. I can also see what he is eating and make restrictions on what he can eat. Dennis and I decided to not restrict the amount he spends, because we wanted him to be allowed to get an extra milk if his spilled or more food if he was hungry. But, we thought what a great experiment to see if he really eats what he says he did. He does a great job with it, but the third week of school he comes home and says "There was extra money on my card so I got a cupcake"!! I guess it was a matter of time before he discovered that. So, we came up with a compromise. At the end of the week if he has been on "green" all week (they have a traffic light system for good behavior at school), then he can get an extra "treat" at lunch on Fridays. So, far that seems to be working well.
While I am on the subject of food...I gave Logan his first finger food today, a cracker. He LOVED it! I think he was so excited to get to eat big people food. I also gave him meat baby food for the first time, which he seemed to like. We have tried every fruit and vegetable and he loves them all. I have a feeling he is going to move to table food pretty quickly. He is growing up too quick!
