Discovering Play Dough



The other day I decided that Luke was ready to have his first play dough experience. We mixed all the ingredients together, and I let Luke pick what color he wanted to make it. He thought it was the best thing! After it cooled down I laid it out for him to play with. At first he had no clue what it was or what he was supposed to do with it. He's not a messy child at all so he was very unsure about putting his hands in it. After a while he figured out that it was lots of fun. He squished it, cut it, patted it, etc. He really liked when I made it into a ball (go figure). Now whenever he sees the tray that we used to play with it on he asks to get out the play dough. It's so amazing to see the discovery of something new through the eyes of your child. It makes me excited for the years to come!

Does he really have that much hair or is it the camera? It's grown so much!

Caleb loves play-dough (I always make his too--it holds up so much better!) I found him a little wooden rolling pin that is just his size, and that made him really happy! He especially loves putting a ball of it in the container, putting the lid on, and shaking it over and over (go figure!) This is such a fun age, isn't it?!?

Yes, he really has that much hair now. He's really been growing lately too. He's turned into a toddler overnight! It's sad!
