The other morning at some ungodly hour, Pooks woke up and was all excited to make some homemade playdough before Sabsy woke up. I agreed to make it (before drinking coffee) figuring that once I finished making it all i would have some time to sit and drink coffee peacefully. Sabs woke up during the process b/c Sophie decided she wanted 4 different colors (it would have been more if i didnt put a stop to it). Sabsy came out and i propped her on the counter while we finished cooking up her dough. Finally done, i put them both at the table with the dough, some wax paper, and told them to have some fun. The fun lasted oh i dont know…5 minutes! Sophie said, I’m done Momma (while Sabs was screaming b/c she couldn’t have all the playdough). I said, done? No you are not done. I am at least guaranteed equal times of play to prep. It took maybe 1/2 hour to make, so you play for a half hour. She did and so did Sab, and then it was about 1/2 hour to clean it all up b/c it was still warm while they were playing and of course didn’t stay on the wax paper so it was on the floor, chair, etc. The effort to reward ratio was slightly unbalanced in this project. But, here are there cute little faces, playing with some dough for a bit.
Below is Sabs stealing all the dough (as you can tell from Pooks face)
Here is evidence of the dough first leaving the playing station
