Bento 5 consists of an apple cereal bar and banana chips and yogurt for the snack (can almost guarantee she won't eat the banana chips, but I'm going to keep trying!) and for the lunch I made turkey and cheese rollups, sliced mushrooms, dill pickles, shredded carrot and a babybel cheese. She'll buy milk at school.

I goofed last week and never got around to posting the 3rd and 4th bentos. Honestly, I can't remember the third days, and the fourth wasnt very exciting or bento-ish. She got soup on Friday, which she went nuts over, but said it was hard to eat (the container is a bit too deep, but the only thermal thing I could find in the right price range).
We also had an incident on Tuesday which scared me and made me mad. The cherry tomatoes (grape actually) caused a problem, and not that she just didn't eat them.
Apparently, she ate some of the other stuff in the lunch, then tried a tomato - she's eaten these before, mind you. She decided she didn't like the tomato, so instead of spitting it out or chewing and swallowing, she kept the tomato, intact, in her mouth for the next 2 hours.
When I picked her up at 2:15, she was rather quiet, even for her. She wouldn't talk to me and I thought maybe she didn't have a good day at school. As I got to the car, I looked at her and asked her if something was wrong. She shook her head yes, and then opened her mouth. Out popped the tomato!!! I was HORRIFIED!!! Not only was that a huge choking risk, but that means my daughter went an entire afternoon without speaking TO ANYONE or being spoken to. I noticed something was wrong within a minute or so of seeing her, no one noticed in two hours???
Anyhow, thats not entirely lunch related, but I'm looking into alternates for school now. I just really cannot mentally handle worrying about things like that. She's the quiet and reserved kind, and now it seems like she's completely being left behind because she just blends in.
Now I'm caught up. Hope she likes this lunch (I have a good feeling about it!).
