Sneaky 5 almost 6 year old...

Ok so I thought I had a naive son...

Listen to this. We have been packing Logan's lunch daily since the first week of school. We had him try out the lunch line the first week, he didn't like it, so we started packing.

He had told us he would ocassionally buy a bisquit in the morning in the cafeteria, ok sometimes. And we had told him he could buy icecream on Fridays.

We had set-up and automatic debit and I had put on an email alert to send us and email when the account got below $5.00. I thought for sure that money would last almost the whole year. Boy was I wrong. We got the email alert yesterday.

I logged into the system to view his buying habits. Now it doesn't tell you what he buys only how much and how often.

This boy was purchasing breakfast and icecream almost daily!! HELLO we were feeding him breakfast at home as well! Plus we were packing a pudding in his lunch. So how many calories could he be eating?!?! Forget the freshman 15! He gonna get the Kindergarten 15!!

So I printed out the spending report and took it home with me and Travis and sat Logan down last night to talk to him.

And you should have seen his face it was like we had discovered a secret. Which we had. Travis asks him, "Logan did you get some icecream this week?" He says, "How did you know?" Travis says, "Because the school sent us an email letting us know you were out of money!" His eyes were as big as saucers! It was priceless. We gave him a talk about how he should only eat 1 breakfast and icecream was only for Fridays.

He then proceeded to pout and tell us life wasn't fair. Of course this was after we had just left Chick-Fil-A where they had played and we had seen a Salvation Army box for Toys for Tots and I told the boys no that is fair. That box is for children whose parents can't buy them anything. Travis asked Logan to count his toys. Logan just pouted and Cole began counting...

So hopefully Logan has learned his lesson...

I am pretty sure he has because this morning he didn't to get out of bed which left him no time for breakfast. We put some cereal in a bag and I took the boys to daycare, he didn't want to take his bag in and had barely begun to eat it. I told him he would be hungry if he didn't take it with him. But he refused. We walked in. He seemed hesitant about going into his bus line and I asked him what was wrong and he told me he was still hungry and I said that is your consequence for not getting up would you like me to get your cereal out of the car? He said no, I think he was embarressed to eat it infront of the big kids. I told him he had my permission to buy breakfast since he didn't have time to eat anything at home and he said ok, but then I told him next time he had to get out of bed when I told him...

Oh the joy of children!!
