So consider this perspective from a conversation we had last fall, when he was starting kindergarten. This is an exact quote from my notes on Sept. 12, 2013, as I often write down what he says:

"After a long discussion regarding school lunch, could he have it, agreeing he could get it once a week and how we would look at the menu together to decide which day he could have it, he said to me, with a huge sigh of relief: 'Oh good! I'm so glad. Now I will feel all connected to the school!' As if that was the *one* last thing that would make his 'school experience' complete."
