Well, despite a few tears this morning because she wanted to stay home, Molly made it. I didn't get a phone call or an e-mail from a teacher or nurse telling me that Molly was having a rough day. When I picked her up from school it seemed like she had one of the best days ever. She got every single one of her sight words correct on her quiz this morning and she is getting more and more eager to read. Whew! This is one of those parenting moments when I feel like I'm actually doing something right. Yes, we still have a long way to go, but this little baby step is a pretty big leap in the right direction. Way To Go Molly!!!!
Now, on to lunch. Molly made another request for her lunch. She wanted the exact same thing as today, not that I blame her, but we've decided to make a few healthier modifications.
Our main entree is a peanut butter and "jelly" on whole wheat. Again, instead of jelly, we have the Trader Joe's Cranberry Apple Butter. We chose a butterfly cookie cutter to cut out Molly's sandwich because she loves butterflies and it kind of symbolizes how much she is spreading her wings and learning to fly.
Molly suggested strawberry yogurt as one of her sides. So, we put some Dannon Light and Fit Strawberry yogurt in for her dairy side.
The request of potato chips was made for a side but we've chosen sugar snap peas instead. This delicious veggie is not as salty or greasy, just much healthier; plus they are just as crunchy.
Our fruit/dessert is some sliced Honey Crisp apples with a side of
Tastefully Simple's Creamy Caramel Sauce.
