Butterflies and Flowers for Breakfast

I am currently in the process of training my lil prince and princess to eat more GREENS :P and also introducing some new fruits to him.  I always wonder why kids just don't eat anything that is green in colour? Is it because of the taste or because of the colour? 

Last Sunday, I make a simple breakfast for my lil ones. 

For lil prince
I boiled some broccoli, decorated with some crab meat on top as flowers.  I also make a small portion of mix vegetables that consists of carrots, green peas and corns in a small food cup.  Instead of having veges only, I added some ham and also eggs (the butterflies are made out of ham and egg).  The yellow spots on the butterflies are cheese sauce.

I make another attempt to get my lil prince to eat yellow kiwi.  He rejected it the first time.   This time I cut the kiwi fruit into flower shape.  The top flowers shape are kiwi fruits and strawberries.  I also get to use two of my food pick for my cherry tomatoes ^__^.

Outcome....successful!!!  My lil prince ate everything on the plate and left only one cherry tomato.  He also ate the yellow kiwi fruit!  To me, it is really an improvement.  It is a good start and also it gives me motivation to continue my GREEN project with my lil ones!

For lil princess
I also made a small bowl for my princess but too bad, she only eat the cheese and the mix vegetables.  She didn't know how to bite the broccoli.  I need to make it softer the next round.  Anyway, no harm in trying because there's always the first time.  Lesson learn today, don't give up.  Just keep trying...one day, we will succeed!

I'm starting my GREEN journey....:P

    Don't give up on first introduction of greens. You are so patient in doing all these. I believe it was very time consuming. I certainly do not have such patient. I really like your interest in giving them greens and fruit. Well done to you, Kitty. Proud of you.
