Sad Bunny

On Easter day, we went to mall and there were bunnies there. Elaine really loves them, she even wanted to touch them but she couldn't reach them and on the way home she always said wants to play with rabbit. So today, i made bunny bento for her lunch. At first, i don't intended to make the sad one, but there is no time to change the expression again, because i had to pick her up at her school. When she saw her lunch, she ignored about the expression and she looks happy when she found out what her lunch today. ^.^

Oink..Oink..

White Piglet

First time Elaine saw her lunch, she asked :"Why the piglet is white, mama? I think the piglet is sick". I never thought she would ask me the question, so i replied her : "Yes, Elaine. The piglet is sick, so you have to check up on her." So, she brought her stethoscope toy and checked the piglet before she ate her lunch today. :)

Inside the box: rice, stir fry beef, tofu with furikake, broccoli, carrot.

Hopefully tomorrow it won't happen again.
