Favorite Things & Monday Musings...

It's been a few days! Things were busy, busy around here...not bad busy, just, too busy to blog busy. I'm in a hurry to get back to work and feeling really random, so buckle up...

A couple of weeks ago, Noble played with Play-Doh for the first time at school. I was waiting until he was closer to 2 to introduce it, thinking he wouldn't be interested yet...but he loves the stuff! He and Kayci have been playing with it a lot since then, and I'm mellowing in my old age--I even let them play with it...sigh...on the floor.


Yesterday's Advent activity was to make homemade playdough--I thought, if he loves Play-Doh, he'll LOVE the scented, softer dough we make at home. Um, yeah...this morning he brought me a can of Play-Doh and wanted to play with it. I tried to switch it with the stuff we made yesterday, and he'd touch it then make the nastiest face and jabber at me to get it OUT OF HIS BOWL. So much for mother of the year. Sigh.


Another sign I'm mellowing in my old age, and also one of my new favorite things: this is a pretty normal sight these days. It's usually toys mixed with cereal or half a banana or whatever Noble's touched...but there's ALWAYS a mess around here lately. This made me smile last night--we hung out at home yesterday afternoon, and a neighbor brought over some homemade cookies. While we were visiting on the porch, Noble helped himself to the cookies, so we were finding them for HOURS last night in odd places. And the candy cane...well, we like to put them on the Christmas tree as the last decoration. Noble loves candy canes, so he'll have one every day or so. But this is what usually ends up happening...
