September 2: Today we held Gerhardt’s birthday party. He chose Naruto for his theme and I have to say, it was fun to plan. I also have to say I was nerded out over Naruto myself for a short time…in my 20s. I know. I introduced this one to the babies. There weren’t tons of ideas on the internet for me to draw on but knowing a bit about the show/manga gave me enough.

Of course I had to serve Ramen for lunch since the main character is obsessed with this meal. I had every intention to make it as authentic looking as I could but weighing the cost of time and effort against the probability of the babies even eating it…I opted for the very cheap, very American version of authentic Ramen.
