DS is in 5K this year which is a full day program. We are required to provide 2 "healthy" snacks a day for him , candy and anything peanut is expressly prohibited. Most days he gets something like a serving of grapes and a couple of pieces of string cheese, or cheese and crackers, carrots and ranch dressing etc. Mostly healthy snacks for the kiddo who is long and lean (45th percentile for weight and 90th for height).
Over the weekend I made chocolate chip bar cookies and on Monday sent one along for snack along with a baggie of grapes. In talking with DS about his day he made the comment that his teacher told him that he should bring a healthier snack in the future.
This really pissed me off. The child normally eats pretty well, in fact this morning he requested grapes be sent for his snack instead of crackers. I don't see how it is this woman's business to criticize the fact that I want to sneak a few extra calories into his diet. Am I getting all bent out of shape over nothing? :huh: I have a feeling I am but it still bothers me.
