For Nicholas
Nicholas had the same food except the nugget and avocado was cut up for easy feeding and no sweet, nuts and biscuits.
The bento created a big commotion at the BBQ as the ladies gathered to woo and ahh over the food presentation which embarrassed Marcus slightly. Haha!

Cute pasta.
hihi...you are the most noble mom..hatsoff you....i would love to eat all those bento lunches too...and the fact that you still have to manage the boys cum household...i dont know how you can do it..dont know what else i can say..wow!!wow!!..wow!!...yes. pls tell us how you can do it!! cheers
hi..i was just reading some of your older posts about marcus...you have a genuis at hand!...would you attribute some of his achievements to shichida?...i mean, i have not sent nicole to any of such lessons as i wasnt sure of its benefits after hearing some so so feedback from parents......cheers
Val, it doesn't take much time really to make the bento but some planning required as to what to prepare and how to present the food. Of course having all the bento accessories at hand is essential to create a pretty bento.:)
Contentedmom, thanks! You are making me blush! On a daily basis, I remind myself to do my best. :) As for shichida, I do believe in the system. More details in my older posts. But Marcus only attended 1 term, so I don't think it has much effect on him. I think it has a lot to do with how we nurture him since young, plus whatever qualities that are innate of him.
i think so too...as a chinese saying goes " 70% is pre determined and 30% is by hardwork". Do you have to put in much effort to get Marcus to do his work?...I need to coax and bribe just to get nicole to read a book. sigh....she prefers to do maths...
Marcus is very self-motivated when it comes to things which interest him, like Lego, reading and drawing etc.. so we never ever have to coax him to do those. We don't do much (in fact nothing!) in other areas unless he is keen. Once he shows interest, we optimize learning opportunities. Else, we just leave it. He will learn in time. :)
Lovely!
and so healthy too!
another supermum :)
