Craft Time!

Painting!
I was a bit reluctant to do painting with an almost 2 year-old, but he managed to keep things pretty clean! Jaden was trying very hard to make this rock beautiful for "Gamma". He loved to mix up the colors and make new ones. We were learning about primary colors, hence the red, yellow, and blue :).


Homemade Peanut Butter Play Dough:
It actually does taste amazing! Jaden couldn't stop shoveling it into his mouth, neither could I :).
He played with this for a good 40 minutes, which is a VERY long time for him to be doing one thing. He rolled it, cut it, made marks on it, and, of course, ate it.


I love, love, love his surprised look and "whoa!" when he realizes that impressions were made in the dough. He is starting to make connections like these everyday, and it is the greatest thing watching him do that. He is growing up and learning things so quickly. I just can't get enough!

Painting rocks is a great idea! Maybe Tyson can do that when we move to Utah! He'd love it!
