Little M totes a bento to daycare each day along with a couple of bottles of mummy milk. On Valentine’s Day today he’ll be opening his lunch box to find this little treat.
Ok so his daycare momma will be the one doing the opening. And it’s unlikely he’ll notice anything except that mummy packed all of his favorites, if he even notices that. But at least I had fun packing this lunch! And I’m sure he’ll go nuts for the brownies – a treat he rarely gets.
If all else fails, I’m sure he’ll notice the big, red mylar balloon waiting for him in the living room. Now this is what I looked forward to most when I had a baby!
Are you doing anything special for Valentine’s day?

I cut DD’s PB&J sandwich into hearts using a cookie cutter and put a Valentine’s day napkin in DH’s lunch; that is about it.

I looked at LL Bean for that tote you are using but couldn’t find it – do you know what it was called or have a link for it? Love it!

@Mrs. Blue: mozzarella cheese and oatmeal/flax/pumpkin pancakes (the recipe is on HB), his favorites!
@Nicole: It was an outlet store find, so they may have discontinued the style. I couldn’t find it online either. Sorry :(
@Mrs. Sunglasses: I’m thinking this needs to be a regular thing at our house. Apparently he was really interested in the shapes. He would pick one up and point to it and then turn and “talk” to his daycare poppa about it. So cute!
@Mrs. Pen: He went nuts for the balloon. Balloons have been his favorite gift so far! You must get one for Cobi, it’s so cute to watch them pull on the string.
