Cheap entertainment...

Last Christmas, Kara received a gift from a friend that was wrapped with this unusual ribbon from Container Store. It's made like a cylinder and, even after it's been tied in a bow, it springs right back into shape. It's so much fun to play with that we saved some for Hannah's toy box. Bob and Nathan like to squeeze the ribbon up as tightly as possible, then let it go suddenly, saying "BING!". It's guaranteed to get laughter from Hannah. And, ever the mimic, she has to try it herself. She squeezes it the best she can, lets it go and says "Hannah ming". Again...fits of giggles. Better than any expensive toy on the market!

My shutter speed wasn't quite fast enough for Hannah's motion, but ask me if I care. :)
