Girl with her Violin Bento

 

Word for the day: V
V for Violin 

This term Olivia is learning alphabet of V and thanks to her form teacher who is kind enough to let me know her this whole month teaching subjects and material. It is also give me more idea through the food and also my brain can have short break whenever I am dried of idea.

Made a girl with her violin. I mixed the white rice and brown rice for the 2 little one. Hair and facial expression use nori, violin is made by chicken nuggets and pork meatballs, form of V by using 2 carrots (not really stand out), broccoli and cream corn soup.

Dessert is Mango pudding (not in pictures) which it is kept in the fridge. I noticed if I put the pudding together, she tends to finish pudding before take her main course. 

During her meal after the first two scoop, she hug me with thanks to providing her this delicious food. Oh...it melts my hearts and I never expect she appreciate. 

After meal, Olivia told me she love my own custom make meatball rather than those nuggets. I   

Cooling Pack


Yeah! At last I managed to grab this from Daiso! I had been searching Cooling Pack for use long long time ago. Well at least when Olivia having her snack time the cheese will not melt and sticky that fast. It can be keep warm and keep warm. Love it!

Heart broken Daddy


As usual, heading to the mall from car park. We used to remind Olivia hold anyone of our hand. While walking across the road, Olivia accidentally fall down and lead her knee got scratches and with little bleeding. I brought her to ladies to cleansed her wound part and she told me this round is not her fault as she walk very "properly" and is daddy's' fault. Going out from toilet, she remain silent and approach to him and said....

Olivia (whisper tone): Daddy, you have not apologize from me yet
Daddy: Sorry dear.
Mummy: Do you want me punish daddy?Just like holding his hand and make him fall down and got same wound like yours? 
Olivia: NO! (cry loudly) I just need him to admit his mistake! I do not want him to get injured like me.....
Daddy: so in touch and hug her firmly.
William bring her to nearest pharmacy to buy medicine plaster while I was away to ladies. I saw from far away they are kind of busy choosing which plaster to stick. I was curious as what keep them so long and still not stick plaster on her knee. When I come closer, I just realized that husband was buying Mickey Minnie version of plaster! 

Mummy: How much?
Daddy: .......
Mummy: Don't have common type?
Daddy: .......
Mummy: Olivia, where you get this? 
Olivia: Here.
(We are still in front of the shop)
Mummy: Why choose this? This one also can. (I point to those brown common plaster)

Crayons

Today is my last day to rest relax and yeee...kind of mix feeling that next day back to normal life again WORK. Sigh....

Nothing stop me prepare another lunch meal for my little one. ^-^ I made this Crayons for her and I was so careless and forgetful that I should write the crayon on top of nori.

Well, I am not good cook but 110% she enjoy very much food I prepare for her as she can feel mummy's' effort is there. Hohoho I guess this keep me the 'moto' to move on and learn for her and for my husband.

Every task start from the first step!

Fun Clay

Mummy had long list things to buy for Olivia. Mom in law is traditional lady, she always had the perception that " Toys is not valued added & waste money concept" (totally not agree). In order not to against any party,mummy always have to be extra careful in selection goodies for her so that to have win-win situation. Mummy have to make a deal with Olivia that if she behave well for the coming whole week in such ways:-
1) Get up from bed - no moody
2) Back from school - no crying*
3) Having her lunch and dinner in slightly faster than normal.*

* (She used to cry and moody is because she is tired, exhausted from school and sleep will be her solution. However, her expression way was not agree by mom in law and could also influence my mom in law in bad mood and final consequences will be we back from work and seeing the black face.) ^-^'

Then awards will be this box of Fun Clay. 

Asking a kid to remember the deal could be easy, but to commit in this deal really not easy. I am glad she follow thru. 

Besides, she will remind me Yeah, mummy today is Monday. I had passed thru this day, I still have Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday! (It also alert her and keep her aware 7 days in a week lessons)

On Saturday morning, we had brought her to bring this home and you can tell her smiley face and how high satisfaction she get this fun clay.

Jigsaw Puzzle Bento


My first trial on this tools. One word: Awesome! 
 
I had tried the right top one, It is really superb convenient. I use 2 types of bread i.e. white one and wholemeal bread so that you can contrast colour. I had add on nori eye on cheese so the bread look like tiny creature was lively watching at you and not to forgot fruits for her to have during her recess time.

It encourage Olivia to eat more and without your realized she can easily finish her 2 pieces bread with very short time.  Besides, puzzle can be can be create infinitely to large piece art.

I am not sure she is eating or she is enjoying? Any idea?


Item I used for the day:
