Ramen

Many days, around noon, Evan asks for "Robin Soup," which means Ramen Noodles. He likes to pick up these long, long noodles (usually starting with a fork, and then taking the noodles off the fork with his hands) and dangle them high enough over his head to drop them into his mouth. On Wikipedia, it says "Even the etymology of the term "ramen" is a topic of debate. One hypothesis and probably the most credible is that "ramen" is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese: (lamian), meaning "hand-pulled noodles." For Evan this meaning rings true because he pulls and pulls to get them out of the bowl, on the long journey to his mouth.

Evan first became interested in Ramen when he saw Miles eating it. He likes to do whatever Miles does. He likes whatever toy Miles is holding. He likes to say what Miles says. And he likes to follow Miles and his friends when they're around the house. For now they are two of a kind, seperated only by a few years, but living lives so intertwined, that Evan isn't sure where he stops and Miles begins. I know Miles likes having this adoring sidekick. Miles and Evan go together like Ramen and beef flavoring.
