Monkey boy's award ceremony

Yesterday was a major milestone event in Monkey boy’s life. It was the first time that he was going on stage to collect not one by two awards from the Principal. This year he did very well in school and got these two awards.

Best in English award and certificate

Both the trophies had his name and class engraved on it and it really looked impressive as it was personalized for the award recipient. I’m really proud of my little boy and he too is happily enjoying his skateboard which is his fruit of his hard work.

Have your child/children received any awards lately?

Weekend Reflections: What is your must have foods?

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Weekend Reflections weekend reflections

Ham and Eggs

Do you have a must serve staple food in your weekly menu? Is there a must have food that the kids request over and over again? The boys love eating ham and egg. We serve this as one of the dishes for dinner quite regularly during our weekday dinners. It is fast and tasty to eat with rice or noodles.

The kids love eggs so I cook variety of eggs for them throughout the week. Sometimes I fry the egg sunny side up, scrambled or have it poached. On other occasions I make chawanmushi if we are having Japanese food that evening. We normally have egg as one of the dishes together with a side of vegetables. The kids are not really meat lovers but I do make sure that they do get chicken and fish to eat at least 2 -3 times a week. I also try to ensure that they have a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.

I would like for the kids to try out a great variety of foods however they are not as adventurous and still quite young I am holding back cooking more spicy and differentiated foods for them to eat.

What do your kids love to eat?
