We're all done with the school bento for the year, but there is one more Christmas snack bento that I made for TinySprite to celebrate her ballet performance in her company's Nutcracker Suite ballet production. Here's a minute or so of their performance, if you're curious to take a look. For her bento, I made a little sandwich decorated with a Nutcracker and a Little Fairy (or Sugar Plum Fairy), with a few carrots, tomatoes and broccoli snuggled in there as well.
She's still in pre-ballet (as she is only 4 years old still), but she really, really enjoyed dancing the Little Fairy role again this year. And she has matured and become more graceful this year. (Okay, okay... but you should have seen her last year to appreciate that statement :) I don't dance ballet, so I'm not sure where she gets her passion for the art, but she loves this show a lot. She can watch it endlessly, and she knows all the dances, which she will perform whenever she hears the music. And I've had to watch and listen to it so many times that I think
I can dance them all myself too! (Just kidding) ^_^
Thank you to Maki of

ReplyDeleteAww, you're so sweet Chantale. Keira too! TS definitely "has a passion" (i.e. is obsessed with) this ballet. I won't tell you how many times she rewatched it over the break >.<
ReplyDeleteHope you folks had a wonderful new year holiday!
Awww your daughter is SUPER cute!!!! My daughter wants to start ballet or dancing and I was thinking she is still early (she's 3). I should send her to a trial someday. Your special bento is amazing work!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful holiday Sheri! Looking forward to your new posts this year!
Nami, she really wanted to start ballet so we enrolled her at age 3 in preballet. She is technically still "preballet" until age 6 but gets a nice introduction to the music and positions. Your girl will love it! Thanks Nami!
ReplyDeleteWow, this Bento is amazing! So your daughter is as well, so cute! ^^ I like your site and your recipes. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Midori! So glad you enjoy the site :D
