Snack-In-A-Box

We all know little ones are like squirrels when they eat; they gather their snacks and nibble here and there throughout the day.  We are lucky to have a little guy with a big appetite in the morning, but as the day progresses, his desire for food is much like a hunt-and-peck game.  (Fortunately, he is gaining weight perfectly and is a healthy boy!)  During one of my Pinterest journeys I came across the ice cube tray idea to store food in for little ones who like to eat frequently throughout the day.  I tried it and it didn't work for us.  When the tray was unattended, it always mysteriously ended up on the floor, spilled on the table, or our furry friend was sneaking treats.  While I was shopping at our local NEX I came across a "utility box" better known as a mini fishing tackle box to me.  (Only $2!)  I picked up 2 of them- one for the diaper bag and one for at home and so far, we have a tidy "snack-in-a-box" keeper for our little sailor.  I fill it with his favorite treats and let him visit it as needed throughout the day after breakfast.  No more mess for us and when he isn't eating a snack, he simply closes the lid keeping our 4-legged friend away from it.
