When you let the three year old help...

The three year old loves to help in the kitchen. She's usually in there with me when I'm getting her sister's lunch made so she's seen many many lunches created. Today, she really wanted to make her sister's lunch. And since I had nothing planned except soup, I let her. I asked her what she wanted to make and she said "a kitty". So, with her guiding me, I cut out the pieces she requested and helped her put it together. I thought the kitty should have had more whiskers, but I was "informed" that "kitty cats only have twos whiskwers". How can you argue with that? I think she did really well for her first lunch and I think the big chic will love the fact that her sister made it for her.

Kitty cat sandwich, strawberries, Yellow cherry tomatoes, Sweet Potato chicken and rice soup, Fruit Bites

**I added a granola bar to the lunch. After looking at it, I thought it needed a little more super-sizing!

You might have noticed that this is a new box. I found it last night at the Sanrio store (thanks to Amber who told me that the Sanrio store carried bento boxes!) and had to add it to our collection. The Laptop Lunchbox is definitely our favorite by far, but it's fun to have a few smaller boxes for snacks and whatnot. I also like to send the smaller bento boxes when she takes soup.
