My kid is weird

[fortmyersbride]

I asked DS what he wanted to take to school on the day they celebrate his birthday. Normally they have fruits and veggie for snack, but can bring a special treat (cookies, muffins, etc) for bdays. His reply? Pears. I asked "are you sure?" "Yes, mommy they are really yummy! And it would be really special with apples too!"

I kinda feel like I should at least turn this into some sort of fruit platter for the kids, rather than "look kids, a sack of pears!" Would the Montessori teacher hate me if I sent some sort of fruit dip?

Sweet.
I like the idea of fruit with dip. But how would they share the dip?

how about kabobs? would make it look extra cool... with yogurt dip would be nice

Lol, by licking it off the fruit and then sticking it back in! That and the potential mess on the carpet makes me think no dip. Maybe just a fresh fruit plate? I'm not sure how else to jazz it up for 3-6 yr olds.

Kabobs sound fun! Maybe I can do some Dixie cups then with dip to cut down on the mess and sharing of germs.

This was going to be my suggestion. We do apps in those clear Dixie cups for toddlers at birthday parties to prevent double dipping.
