We worried a lot about Matthew and eating his lunch. We made him just put his unfinished lunch back in the bag just so we knew what he had ate. He did that clear thru the sixth grade--became such a habit, couldn't break it! It's hard at first, but it will all work out.melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354409458278269994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341672531825270056.post-18697888888761228892010-08-24T20:51:44.250-05:002010-08-24T20:51:44.250-05:00I once found a great little divided box in the tup...I once found a great little divided box in the tupperware section of Target. We used it for "mommy lunchables" -- aka homemade lunchables. It worked really great for awhile--until the lid broke/cracked. Haven't seen once since. I also used some sandwiched shaped boxes that I probably picked up at WalMart or Target. It worked at least for the sandwich part.melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354409458278269994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341672531825270056.post-87476411439838721422010-08-24T12:02:00.792-05:002010-08-24T12:02:00.792-05:00I agree, it is good you are trying to make it more...I agree, it is good you are trying to make it more eco-friendly, without losing your mind.

I am so proud that you ...I will keep my eyes open. I am so proud that you are even thinking this way. I get crazy when I think of all the packaging for "lunchables" and that sort of thing. <br /><br />If you have to use wrap, maybe try the old waxed paper. It makes a nice placemat and then is biodegradable. It doesn't work so well for things other than sandwiches.growmyownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062709167089804021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341672531825270056.post-19635851523871842732010-08-24T07:43:27.104-05:002010-08-24T07:43:27.104-05:00Maggie usually came home with a full lunch box dur...Maggie usually came home with a full lunch box during 1st grade...I think she was afraid to be the last one eating. She thinks it's better in 2nd grade...even though it's exactly the same as 1st grade. Hang in there...he'll be fine.<br /><br />Also, I use a reusable sandwich container to put Maggie's crackers/ham in. She's not a big sandwich eater, but I still use the container for that.The Sullivan Sitcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326433763204322925noreply@blogger.com
