week 23: at last the spring

a whole week full of sun and average temperatures of 12-17 C; i can live with that with spring comes some of my favourite fruits – featured this week we have strawberries.

papajon and mamajon had a forældreskonsultation (parent talk with the nice ladies at jon’s daycare) and they told us that he is doing just fine. they are amazed at how well he eats, and how varied his diet is. they commented that most children at the daycare tend to be a bit fussy. they said: “keep the lunchboxes coming“.

week 20: back from procrastination mode

after one week in portugal and one week of business work related travel (where we did prepare lunchboxes for jon, but they were never photographed…) we are back to business as usual.

on friday, jon did not have a lunchbox because we had to spend lunch at the hospital – nothing serious – it was a scheduled appointment.

p.s. jon emptied the lunchboxes every day this week.
