After our Endo visit and a short trip to the zoo to see the Polar Bears on Monday, we went to Target. We don't have any Target stores around here, so when I make it to Columbus I like to go there and see what kind of deals I can find!
I am having the hardest time finding a suitable bag for El's "stuff". Our first bag was a small pink backpack with a poodle dog on it that Great Grandma R got El at the hospital when I had El. From that, we started using a pink camo insulated lunchbox that we got from a JDRF walk. Then we tried a 31 Gifts insulated lunch bag. For her birthday (and 1 year diabetes anniversary) Staci & Gaven gave her a Sponge Bob mini backpack that we are currently using. Unfortunately, all of these bags have problems so I'm always on the look out for a better bag. The insulated bags really are the better way to go and I really liked the 31 lunch bag, but it really needed a shoulder strap.
So while at Target, I looked at their lunch boxes. I'm looking thinking about a new diabetes bag, but Mom quickly reminds me that school will be starting soon! As soon as she said that, Ellee got excited because she "needed a bag to take her lunch to the big kid school!" I've never seen a kid so excited about packing her lunch! I just hope that she keeps this enthusiasm up!
She didn't have a definite favorite, so I told her we will keep looking. She also wanted too look at book bags. Do you realize how hard it is to find a cute book bag that doesn't have some character plastered all over it?! 6 weeks left to find a lunch box and book bag that we BOTH agree with!

Good luck with the transition to K. I know she is ready! It will all go well and you'll trust that Ellie is in great hands, that's all you can do. She is a brilliant, strong girl who will hold her own. I can relate some as I will be taking Oia to preschool next month and I too have to have faith that my wobbly little girl will be safe and sound without me.
