When Six Year Olds Make Lunch

D-boy, my youngest is a six year old that loves to do things. If he sees something broken, he will try to figure out how to fix it. As often as not, when I'm in the kitchen he's right there helping me. He really is a help too, running to fetch ingredients almost before I need them. I guess what I'm trying to say is that he's a very capable child.

But...he also likes candy.

When I noticed at lunchtime the other day that he had already fixed himself a sandwich, I wasn't surprised. He does things like that. Then I took another look at his lunch choice.


Yes those are chocolate and butterscotch chips on there. At least it's on whole wheat bread!

    1. I think he figured that would make the candy OK as a filling!

  3. Chocolate comes from a plant. I say he's covered two food groups right there. :)

    1. Oh I like that way of thinking. Maybe I'll use it to justify my own chocolate intake as well!

  4. What an innovative lunch :). I love that you stopped and took a picture. I mean, it's perfect blogging fodder. That little one of yours certainly has a personality, huh?

    1. I'd have writer's block more often if it weren't for my kids doing funny things. I've learned to keep the camera handy!

  6. Yum?! If it's dark chocolate, he'll be getting flavonoids and what not!

    1. That's a good way of thinking about it. I use that one when we indulge in hot chocolate!

  7. He's a genius! He can make my lunch anytime. Toast that sandwich, and you just might be on to something ooey-gooey and wonderful. :)

    1. That does sound good! Maybe with some powdered sugar sprinkled on the outside too.

  9. That's awesome. My sister made her own lunch in 1st grade because she told my mother she could and she brought nothing but crap and my mom didn't check. When the teacher asked her if her mother packed her that lunch,she told her "no, she's too busy watching the tonight show on tv that she taped the night before". Awesome.
