A new way of eating...

I have seen online, in magazines, and on other blogs about bento box, muffin tin, or ice cube tray lunches and snacks for kids. We have this old ikea ice cube tray that I decided to put Paige's lunch in yesterday. She thought it was great, and deterred her slightly from chucking her food (although--when she decides to chuck the entire thing, then we'll have an even bigger mess). This morning when we went downstairs for breakfast she squealed with delight when she saw the tray in the drying rack. I had to make her bowl of oatmeal as well as the little assortment above. It definitely made her eat more food.

Wow., is that ever clever. No one in my generation was smart enough to think of that. However as kids we loved TV Dinners - much the same concept with food in each little compartment
