New Things Every Day

Here's something that's pretty new for Boylee:  peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. At his preschool one of his classmates had a serious peanut allergy, so PB&J was not allowed.  And while we've had them a few times at home, they haven't been the staple you'd think they would be.  Until this week. 

Monday I made him a sandwich for his lunchbox, and when he got home there was no sign of it inside. That's a bit strange -- usually no matter what I pack, there's evidence left behind: a crust, a few uneaten bites, etc.  I thought that maybe he'd thrown it away or given it to someone else.  But no, it turns out he liked it. A lot.  (Seriously, that kid never eats crusts unless it's really nice bread dipped in olive oil. But that's another story.) So I made him another on Tuesday. And he asked for it specifically on Wednesday.  Today?  No. Today is pepperoni pizza in the cafeteria. The love for PB&J only goes so far.
