How can I get ds to eat his sandwich at nursery?

Ds has just started nursery and is having his lunch there. They just let them eat what they want from their lunchbox and let them decide when they have finished, which I approve of, but the problem is ds will not eat his sandwich, he will eat all the other stuff and then get down. At home no other food appears until some sandwich has been eaten, otherwise no carbs will pass his lips (he is fruit and veg fiend). It's not a big deal, but once they choose to get down the lunch is taken away and they can't go back to it, so last week by picking up time he was a bit wobbly and frail, having had just an apple and a cereal bar.

Any ideas? I have resorted to cutting them into interesting shapes in a pathetic attempt to make them look more appealing...

Oh god, is that your thread Greeny? Will read...

I saw the title and just thought "well they should be glad it isn't rats" which was not the most helpful response I have ever made

I had this with ds2 when he started school.

Now all he has is a sandwich and a drink.

Sorry, cod? He does sleep from 6.30 till 6.30, or he doesn't? Lost me there...

not all day

FrannyandZooey · 21/07/2006 19:45

Oh I see. He doesn't sleep from 6.30 am till 6.30 pm? So, presumably, he does sleep from 6.30 pm to 6.30 am. That was quite a complicated way of putting it.

Yes, ds would no way have a sleep if he slept 12 hours at night. But he doesn't, he sleeps about 10, so he still has a nap.

Ds has never slept more than 12 hours in a day, really. Seems to be even less now he hasn't got me to bludgeon him to sleep with a breast in the mornings.

He seems ok on it.

pmsl at the thought of you bludgeoning people right left and centre with your enormous milk-spluttering norkmeisters, Franny

FrannyandZooey · 21/07/2006 20:42

Yes, well...

more like a small milk-dribbling nodule, really
