Play-Doh

Play-Doh is a toy everyone enjoys and will sit still for.  I like to break it during these dark winter evenings when we need a creative, fun, quiet activity. 

PlayDough

As the weather has started to get cooler and cooler, I got more and more nervous about how I would keep an active little boy entertained all winter. My neighbor suggested playdough. Leighton loves playing with it. He doesn't understand how to use cookie cutters yet, but he likes to put dinosaurs and farm animals in.




For those of you who don't get the priviledge of hearing his precious voice start to say words, I thought I would share how he says some of his favorites!

Die - Sa = Dinosaur
Dow = Cow
Ho - Dow = Holy Cow
Peacheese = Peaches
Flowey = Flower
Hammey = Hammer
Baaa = Ball
Waaa - Weeee = Water
Ju = Juice
Mill = Milk
Nack = Snack
Pho = Phone
Babe Seep = Baby is Sleeping
Paci = Pacifier
Bot - Ball = Football
Pee - Sa = Pizza
Nuggie = Chicken Nuggets
Peas = Please
Noo - Noo = Noodle

There are several more too! And there are some that he says correctly too! It is so wonderful to hear him communicate and begin to understand us as well.
