School Lunches

Eli is obsessed with the idea of eating lunch at school. He will be starting Pre-K next year and I have to keep reminding him that he won't be eating lunch at school because it's only 3 hours. He will eat lunch at home, either before or after school, depending on whether he is in morning or afternoon class.

He will start talking about it at random times. This is our conversation in the car yesterday:

Eli: Mommy when I eat lunch at school next year you can come eat with me.

Me: That sounds like fun, but remember it won't be next year, it will be the year after that when you're in kindergarten.

Eli: But Mommy how will I get lunch next year if I don't eat at school?

Me: You will eat at home with Zoe and me.

Eli: Oh yeah, I forgot. But when I do eat at school I'm sure my teacher will have 2 chairs for me so you can come eat with me too.

Me: Ok, can I bring Zoe too?

Eli: Oh, ok, only if she's bigger because they won't let babies into the school to eat.
