drinks for lunch

In the past, for daycare, I have never had to send in drinks. At home, DS doesn't really drink juice, just water. I don't really want him going in with juice boxes every day - maybe I will send in one - but I know he is usually thirsty. And I know, he will probably lose a container if I send it in. How much and what do you send in? Other than the mini bottles of water, which I can send in, but gets expensive, what do you send in?

ETA: And I know I am extremely ridiculous for even worrying about this!

Re: drinks for lunch

I send in bottled water or water in a sports bottle nearly every day. Sometimes Vitamin Water or Gatorade as a treat, but never, ever juice.

Same here. I get them at Costco. They're chocolate, but low fat.

I'm so not "soapboxing", but did you know that Roaring Waters has artificial sweetener in it? I'm only mentioning it because I had NO idea. I swear I read the label like 6 times when I bought them, and didn't see it. But sure enough they do! Some people don't mind, but in case you didn't know!

I send each kid with 1 juice box and 1 box of milk (they love the Horizon vanilla or regular).
My DS has started drinking water more, so, I may swap that a few times a week with the juice. DD I may start sending in the vitamin water again (she HATES plain water).

I think I'm going to send him with water in a thermos. I don't want him to have juice during school, even the smallest amount of sugar makes him hyper. He has milk in the morning, so I don't want to send that in

Guilty! But to answer the question, I send water everyday, and once a week or so I send Horizon milk boxes.
