Our First Bento

Today is Keevas first Bento lunch day. We gave her ham and cheese rolls, broccoli, cantaloupe with little designs pressed into them, grapes and a brownie. She is very excited and promises she will eat everything...we shall see. Although, we are starting with foods she does eat so chances ate good. We have made an agreement that for the rest of the school year she can take a lunch one day a week and if she eats what she is given I will cancel the lunch program for next year. I know she is only 5 and thats a big agreement but I plan to slip in new foods now and then and our little pumpkin is known to go to lengths for things she wants so, we shall see......

*Update*......Keeva ate all the fruit, the brownie (of course), all but three of the sandwiches and just one broccoli...said she didn't like it cold. She finished the sandwiches at the park after school. So goal number one...eating what I send ....accomplished.

You did great for your first bento and I bet Keeva is going to gobble it up. Great variety and color, so much better than my first bentos for Maisie. I'll bet soon Keeva will be trying new foods and will have a blast doing it. Congrats.
