So difficult to eat meh?

Meal time for 哥哥 is hair pulling time for me. He takes a long time to eat and most of the time he can't finish it. Some times I wonder if I have given him too much to eat but how can he be eating the portion 妹妹 is eating? Some times, 妹妹 even eats more than him.

Recently, I made up my mind to try making his meals interesting (was inspired by the bentos Japanese mummies made). Yes, more time is spent to prepare the food. But you know what? The effort paid off. I had made bento inspired meals for 哥哥 a few times now and he finished all each time. He still takes a longer time (compared to 妹妹) to finish it but at least I don't have to nag at him to eat. It also helps to make him eats vegetables.

So having interesting looking food does help to improve appetite? Let's just hope this will last.
