early morning activity: rice in a bowl!

sure, it required some clean up, but nothing the dustbuster couldn't handle. 

AND she was entertained for a whole 20 minutes!

sensory exploration, the child development centers would say...

what would i say? it allowed me to:

 eat a bowl of cereal uninterrupted

 check my email

actually read some news

unload and reload dishwasher

AND

start making dinner for a friend with a newborn

WHAT? at 830 in the morning?!

yes, it's all true!

how could this be possible? what do you need to access such luxury?

fear not, you only need three things that you already have:

bowl

cup

uncooked rice

voila! educational activity for your child!

(read: a chance to unload the dishwasher without a toddler trying to crawl inside!)
