The kids will often share a Lunchable for lunch. It is a great and easy lunch, especially for a meal on the go. For those not familiar, a typical Lunchable contains a stack of lunch meat (turkey, bologna or ham), a stack of cheese, a stack of crackers and often 2 cookies for dessert. The kids know that they have to finish everything else before they can eat the cookies. When we are at home, Jake will take the cookies out of the container and set them on the kitchen counter for safe keeping until they are ready to be eaten. On many occasion, he has eaten a Lunchable by himself while Jadyn is napping but instead of eating both cookies, he still saves one of them to give to Jadyn when she wakes up.
He did a similar thing yesterday when Jadyn and I went to the pool in the early afternoon. Upon arriving home, Jake excitedly ran over to the counter and produced a cookie to give to Jadyn. Since Lunchables are something I plan to pack for my picky eater in his school lunches, I asked Jake if he was going to start eating both cookies when he brought them to school for lunch to which he quickly replied no. He fully plans to keep that second cookie in his lunch bag and bring it home to little sister.
Isn't that a thoughtful cookie?

Big brothers are really great that way. Mine used to do similar things, and it still means so much to me now when we are all grown up.
That is so sweet! Jadyn is so lucky to have such a great big bro!
