While Hal took her long Sunday nap I perused the toy aisles of Walmart in search of a fun new activity/toy for us to do. It didn't take but a second to find what I was looking for. The colorful tops and bright, easily recognizable containers were like a beacon. PLAY-DOH!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe the most fun thing ever invented!!!! Ok, so let's me honest. I think I bought the doh for myself just as much as I did for Hallie. Surely she wouldn't mind sharing. I remember spending hours upon hours as a wee one making spaghetti and hamburgers, necklaces and rings, so on and so on......the fun never ending with Play-Doh! I was so excited for her to wake up from her nap so that we could get to playing. The fact that I hadn't torn into the mushy stuff prior to her waking took a lot of self-control. She was still in a bit of a daze after her nap and wasn't sure what to think about the package I handed her......
"Mom, can we tone it down a bit until I'm fully awake? K, thanks"
She seemed intruiged enough and was trying to get into the package soon so I plopped her in her highchair and handed her a couple of colors first.....
Oh how I loved the feeling of that magical stuff in my hand. I was hoping she would share in my excitment. Or should I say over-excitment??
"Gonna need some guidance here mom....."
"Do I eat it?"
As I should've anticipated she was much more interested in the container than she was the actual Play-Doh.....
I'm sure I'll have myself a Play-Doh-in fool before long.
