Snax Box # 077 Carrots & Sausages


Last few days I was lazy and only pack some bread that I bought from Kings for lil prince snack box.  Yesterday, he came home with his snack box full (he only ate some of the fruits that I pack for him).  *sigh*...he must have been bored with the bread.  Anyway I can't blame him too as he has been eating bread for the past few days.

So, yesterday I asked him what he wants for his snack today.  He answered "Sausages".  I boiled four cocktail sausages and cut them to make it look like heart shape.  Added some heart shape cheese and crab meat on top.  The cheese were decorated with tiny sugar stars.  I showed it to him and reminded him that he must eat his snack box tomorrow.  Here's the conversation we had about this snack box yesterday (after I showed him his sausages):

Lil Prince : Where's my mayonnaise?
Mummy: Why do you need mayonnaise for your snack box?
Lil Prince : I want to eat mayonnaise.
Mummy : You want to dip your sausages with mayonnaise?
Lil Prince : No, I want to eat carrots with mayonnaise.  You put some carrots in my box-lah.

Without any second thought I cepat-cepat boiled some carrots and added to his snack box.  This was the first time he told me that he wants to eat carrots!  From my previous post, you would have noticed that I've been trying hard to get my kids to eat vegetables.  Today, I am absolutely happy that lil prince took the initiative to tell me himself that he wants to eat carrots!  No fruits today, everything packed as per lil prince request :P.

Hmmm....maybe next time I can add some GREENs, perhaps?  Well...no need to rush, one step at a time :)

Have a nice weekend!
