Remember your first lunchbox?

Lisa tells this story:

I remember my first lunch box, a metal "Addams Family" with clipped in thermos, when I started first grade. I think Sophie is going to remember her first lunch box, too.

I planned to let the girls use simple insulated bags to take their
lunch to preschool, but last night I decided to pick up a couple lunch boxes (when I found them half-price). The girls were so excited when I came home and showed them. They pretended to go to work and to school and come home again. They got pretty wound up and it took them a while to get calmed back down for bedtime. This morning Sophie was all smiles and couldn't wait to go to school.

She was awake before I was and greeted me carrying her lunchbox and saying, "Mom, I'm ready to go to school." And she was so excited about the thermos that she wanted soup for breakfast so she could eat out of the little cup.
