Going hungry

Our evenings during the week are pretty full between Emilie's dance class and Caleb's Jiu Jitsu classes. I typically pick them up from daycare and go straight to a class. Because of this I have been packing extra food in Caleb's lunches so he has an evening snack. That and I have a tendency to overpack as a general rule of thumb. Tonight when I picked Caleb up from daycare we started the usual lunchbox inventory to see what the options were for a snack. As he was rummaging through the box he told me...

"Mom- you pack me too much food for lunch! Mr. Myers says I have to eat everything and I never can because you pack too much!"

Worried he was not getting a special sticker or reward for not eating all his lunch I asked, "What happens if you don't eat all of your food?"

"Mr. Myers (teacher) AND Mr. McIntosh (principal) both say I'll go hungry!!"
