Almost overnight, my son went from loving his "Bob the Builder" fork and spoon set and fire truck lunch box to wanting everything as plain and nondescript as can be. Now everything, including the contents of his lunch box including his utensils, water bottle, and reusable containers are as plain and simple as can be, just the way most fourth-grade-going-on-high-school kids like him would prefer.
