Play-doh Player

Jillian loves to play with her play-doh set where she can make animals by putting the play-doh inside and pushing to make shapes comes out. There is a snake and turtle (her favorites) and an elephant and a lion (which she calls a kitty because it looks like one). Before I had to do the pushing because it was hard to line it up right and push hard enough. Now she is determined, as you can see in this picture, to make them herself. She will do all of them and then she tells me "Again", so I dig out the play-doh and she starts over, filling each one and pushing again. This goes on for quite awhile. Today she added a new twist by using the snake head to cut the play-doh into tiny pieces which I see was ground into the knees on her pants and on her shirt sleeves. I'm glad she has an understanding Mom when it comes to laundry.

Rielee came today and they played hard and then we went up to see the babies, Ava and Harper, which Jillian ignored completely. Instead, her and Rielee climbed in the baby stroller and walker and pretended to be babies. All this wore her out and she took the longest nap!
