  1. I’m glad your son feels better about going now. It is hard when you have to leave them and they don’t want to go.

  2. We are on the second week of school here. I think it’s finally setting in for my boys that they’ll be in school for a long time before there’s a long break and they aren’t thrilled about that.

  3. we started a day after you. kids are doing great and loving school but this is the first full week we will have and time will tell how it works out. my son’s swim team doesn’t start until next week and that will also change things.

  4. We’re getting back into routines the past few weeks – and that includes preparing our lunches at night. I’ve picked out several new bento boxes for my son, and I’ve had more fun making his lunch (and he loves eating what I prepare!)

  5. Kiddo is only a week in and so far, so good! We had a bit of a hiccup on where she was going to live (here with her dad or there with her mom) and the schools had to shuffle some paperwork so she missed her first day.

  6. We just started using a Bento box for my son for lunch today. Trying to give him more options than just PB&J and quesadillas!

  7. Back to school has been rough here at my house, but we are making it. It’s hard to get back into the routine of going to bed early and waking up early. Plus, I have to wake the baby when it’s time to take the kids to school, and you know what they say about having to wake a sleeping baby?

  8. Back to school is old hat for our family now, but back in the day, it was a little… rough. The first time is always the worst.

  9. Thankfully, my son has always been really great about back to school. I’ve heard some horror stories from other moms, and I’m so grateful to not have had to live through any of those things.

  10. The kids have always been really great for back to school. I’m grateful for that, because I remember what a beast I was. I HATED it.

  11. Back to school has always been one of the easiest transitions for us. It really hasn’t been an issue at all, which I’m grateful for.

  12. I love that lunch box! I homeschool my son, so back to school isn’t too much of a hassle. It’s rough to get back into a bedtime and waking up routine though.

  13. It’s been tough getting back to a routine, that’s for certain. The girls are involved in different activities this year and their school workload is also very different. At least now I’m having time to get back to the daily routine and get things accomplished while they are in school.

  14. Happy to hear its getting better. Routines and Schedules were so messed up here it was a bit of a toughie for my 5 year old… We do a bento box type lunch here too!

  15. Cool lunch box! I hope the change gets a little easier for him, I know how hard it can be for mommy when your kid doesn’t want to go to school.

  16. No kids at our home, but back-to-school still impacts me. The traffic in the morning is exponentially worse!

  17. My kids are in grade 12 and first year college. Back to school was okay this year not nearly as stressful as previous years.

  18. The kids have all finished school. I know the Itzy Bitzy Lunch Happened Bento Box, Rock Star lunch pail would be on everyone’s list if they were kids again. It sounds like everyone is adapting to back to school, and glad you found a job to accommodate your hours.

  19. My daughter love school so it’s going well for her of course. My son dislikes his 3rd grade class because a few bad kids keep making them miss recess. #kidproblems đŸ™‚

  20. I guess I’m way past those school years, but I still like this time of year. I’m glad you all are in a routine already!

  21. I was worried how my daughter would do this year as she was in Kindergarten last year in Kansas and it was only have day. We moved this summer and she started a new school and of course all day long for 1st grade. She has done great. We do struggle getting up in the morning and wanting to get going but overall she really loves school. Dodged a bullet there! Hopefully your little boy continues to do great. I’m sure he will.
