Good Days

Some days...well, most days really, are really good days. Sure Joash has a melt down when I tell him not to do something, or when I won't give a treat to him...or his cow. But, for the most part he is a fun, sweet and smart kid.

But, I still enjoy having a bit of a break when Wilbert comes in throughout the day. And nap time. I love nap time. I am so thankful that my boy takes naps most days yet. And now nap time is also once again turning into nap time for mom, which is really nice.

So on days when I know Wilbert won't be around much, I try to have some different things to pull out and do with Joash. Yesterday we ventured further into the world of play-dough. I found a $2 set of play-dough tools at the Dollar Store and we were good to go. We played with play-dough and all fo the new tools for about an hour. As you can see, Joash give his approval.
 He doesn't quite have the strength or dexterity to push the play-dough through the extruder, but he likes to fill it up for mom to use and then play with the results.
