How fun for your little girl! I agree that if you get an insulated lunch box, and stick an ice pack (try a hard one, not the soft gel kind, they have been known to leak at out house) and you can pack lots more things. Yogurt and peanuts are a big favorite. Also, some refried beans and cheese in a tortilla work well. Can she take a thermos?? They sell smaller ones at Walmart I know, and then you could put in Mac and cheese, pasta, or anything else she will eat and it should stay warm enough I tend to make it a little too hot in the morning, and then by lunch time its perfect. We are also big fans of the mandarin oranges in 100% juice, or any other fruit like that. I have also seen more organic snacks lately, even at Target, so that could be fun too. Just realize that she wont eat as much as you might think, they are just so distracted at school, so be prepared for her to be hungry when she gets in the car. I like to have some dry cereal or something on hand just in case. Enjoy this fun new phase, you will be in awe at how much she will learn:) ~A.~
