Ashley and her lunchbox

Ashley wants so badly to be like her big brothers, which is part of why she is SO excited about going to preschool.  We bought her a Hello Kitty lunchbox last Friday so she would be prepared.  She has loved playing with it and it even came with a container to put food in-this will come in handy since our ocean container (with the kitchen things in it) isn't here yet.  Ashley loves playing that there are snacks in this container and will bring it to us and offer us snacks.  Sometimes there is actual plastic toy food in the container and sometimes it is all pretend and the container is empty.  Last Saturday Ashley had been in the den to offer Greg and I some snacks several times.  She was also serving snacks to the boys.  One time she comes stomping in very indignantly with one hand on her hip and the other carrying her empty container.  She said "the boys keep eating the pretend snacks ALL GONE!"  She wanted to offer them choices and give them what they asked for, etc but anytime she got close with her "snacks"  they just started making these rude gobbling noises to eat everything all up.  You have never seen anyone so upset over "bad" pretend snack eating.  Greg and I both had to hide our laughter from her as we were telling the boys not to eat all the "snacks."  Sadly though for me I still had to fix lunch even after all those "snacks."
