Veteran’s Day isn’t until Friday, but I thought we would celebrate it early.
JDaniel loved the mandarin oranges in the star-shaped ice cube tray. They were hard to pull out, but I think he thought it looked like more oranges than he usually gets. I reloaded the ice cube tray when he discovered they weren’t enough.
The stripes on the flag-themed lunch are made of sun-dried tomato bread, ham, and cheddar cheese. I guess it is like having very skinny sandwich fixings.
This lunch was a hit. He could barely wait for the picture of the meal to be taken. He was also very hungry. We had a very busy morning.
If you look closely at the picture, you will see a hospital bracelet on one of his wrists. JDaniel fell and landed with his head against a coffee table on Halloween Day while we were at playgroup. I will be sharing more about what happened on Mommy of a Monster and Twins tomorrow.

About Deirdre
Welcome! My name is Deirdre and I am JDaniel4's Mom. After teaching in Virginia for twenty years, I was a stay at home mom learning and growing beside my son JDaniel the 4th for five years. I recently went back to teaching at a local school here in South Carolina.
Yummy! What a fun mom and son duo! Great tribute for Veterans Day. You are teaching your sweet boy such good values and food values too! I LOVE mandarin oranges! My favorites! I always love when you stop by.
Poor JDaniel! I hope he is feeling better by now. I just love the Veteran’s Day tin! Check my facebook or twitter – my boys were in a Veteran’s Day parade and it aired on the news today 🙂
That’s why I always try and put ‘treats’ in smaller containers – it looks like more, so they’re happy getting less! Love the ‘sandwich!’ Did he build his own, or just eat the ingredients separately? My daughter takes her sandwiches apart and eats each bit on its own, but if I give her the ingredients separately (like a Lunchable,) she builds them into sandwiches! What a nut!

What a simple but effective idea! Thanks for the reminder to get out our star-shaped ice cube tray this week…
That really is a darling muffin tin treat, but I’m so sorry to hear about his fall. I’ll look for the rest of the story tomorrow!
So cute, as usual!
Very cute. I hope you little one is recovering from his fall.
Oh, Ow! Hope he is feeling much better… I like how you made the flag out of the foods & star tray – very creative!
Love the patriotic tin honoring our veterans.
I 100% love that you honor Veteran’s Day. My father would thank you as well.
