The Scrappy Side of Bento

Kaden's Pretty Breakfast

I just thought it would be funny to show what happens to all the pieces from Kaden's Bento Boxes. People always ask me what I do with all the left overs and don't I hate wasting food.

The Answer is obvious in the following Pictures.

At least Mine came with a Big Iced Coffee!! Can't complain!

Kaden had Flower shaped sponge cake with chocolate and sprinkles with Strawberries!

Mom's.......Breakfast

Eat Bento, Be Happy

Hail to the Almighty Bento Box!!!!! Today during Kaden's 2nd session of therapy he enjoyed his Lunch Bento Box. His BT was AMAZZZZED at how easy it was to get Kaden to not only eat, but eat Everything. I was very pleased too!

She even looked online for herself one during her break. Bento Time for Everyone!

So, in the top portion I put a pressed PB & J Sandwich with a little heart cut out. Of course I ate it....quality control expert here!! :) Several sliced up cucumbers, spinach leaves and a cut up strawberry. He ate it all, even the cucumbers, no dip needed......

The bottom half I made some homemade granola bars the other day, so I put one in with also some yummy almonds. Kaden loves grapes, so I gave him a container of those and some yummy heart shaped cheese pieces. He was so funny, he told the BT that I must have worked so HARD to cut out those tiny hearts. Got to LOVE him!!! And I sure do..... :D

Later in the afternoon he begged me for some more cheese and his NEW favorite drink....Carrot Juice. And like a nice Manic Bento Crazy Momma I did!

Be Happy....Make a Bento Box! ;D

What Autism looks like to us

Autism looks different in everyone's world. I knew something was Special about Kaden when he was 2yrs old. He was sooooo Smart. He started Reading when he was almost 3 and started learning Addition and Subtraction before he was 4. Everything had to be Perfect and he Reacted Negatively to Sound and Touch.
In Kaden's World everything is too Loud and Scary. Everyday he needs to be wrapped in a tight blanket with pressure applied just to help him calm down. He Twirls and Walks on his toes and loves the feel of Water unless it gets on his face.
He would rather play Chess or solve Math problems then play with action figures or play Hide and Seek. He has NO Filter on his Mouth and will say whatever he is Thinking. LOUDLY!!!! Socializing to him is coming down to Dinner and not eating with his Hands and smearing food all over him. He has no desire to play with other kids unless that want to play Chess, Organize something, talk about Math. When he does Approach a child it is Obvious that he is Sailing in Uncharted Waters.
Math and Video games are his Drug of choice. He will sit for Hours and Organize objects by color or shape. He constantly goes over Multiplication and Division facts or Video game maps and rules.
Kaden is very Rule Oriented, he will not Play a game or Watch a show that is not Age Appropriate.
What happens when Plans Change or Life just Hits. He gets Anxious, then comes the Anger and if the fire doesn't get put out fast, the Rage will come. And Kaden will say hurtful things and hurt himself.
So, Kaden is Our Rule Boy, who has Sensory issues and fights with Anxiety on a Daily Basis. Even at Home he will Hide under the Coffee table or in a Closet. He is very Loud and Structured in his thinking. He Questions everything and would Rather be Alone reading and solving Math problems then socialize doing what the other kids around him are doing.
It's our Wonderful World with Kaden.
