Standing ovation for Ramen! (10 Months 10.04.09

We have such a great time at home together. It melts my heart when my baby girl smiles at me the way she does in this picture.

So I went to Sam's Club and purchased a huge box of Ramen noodles on a whim. We still haven't finished the box yet, but let me tell you all of the great uses for the Ramen noodle cup:

1.) Instead of stacking blocks, stack Ramen cups for baby to knock down. Then teach baby to re-stack the Ramen cups so baby can re-knock them down. (Baby hasn't mastered the re-stacking part yet.)

2.) Each cup has the perfect cardboard shell to pick at and tear apart, but the plastic shrink wrap is indestructible keeping the precious, inexpensive noodles intact to be consumed by parents.

3.) Each cup is also lightweight enough to pick up and STAND with (while performing #2 above)!!!! (Yes folks, our daughter is now standing by herself all thanks to Ramen! If that isn't Asian enough, I don't know what is. LOL).

4.) Provides minutes of entertainment when baby is bored with her other toys.

5.) However, once #2 happens and all of the Ramen cups are sleeveless, parents must purchase another box to continue the fun.

I'm sick of Ramen now...
