Late Christmas gift

Today was a good day, much like the others (this is 4 days in a row for the blog, dear A-man!) mommy posted about recently.  Mommy had to work this morning, then came home to you and daddy in the early afternoon, daddy exasperated from searching the house for 45 minutes and not finding your winter coat that mommy had hung near the dryer the other day to dry (from the playing in the snow).  Once that was taken care of, you two went off for a short neighborhood walk while I had some lunch.  You ended up at the neighbor across the circle (Maria from Columbia), where I found you on her porch "helping" clean the snow off the railing, and daddy helping shovel the driveway a bit.

Later on, at bedtime, you were playing in your room as usual, and this time, despite the fact that it was sitting there for the last two days on your floor in plain sight, you discovered a wrapped present that we chose not to give you at Christmas (didn't want Nana Linda's carpets to suffer lol).  This time, you tore it open happily and as soon as you had just one corner revealed, you exclaimed "Doh-doh!", which is what you call Play-Doh.  This gift was the "Fun Factory" for Play-Doh, which is basically a simple press contraption with a few different shapes in which you can churn out the dough.  We laid down a mat and let you have at it for bit, showing you how it worked, and you enjoying it so much you did not want to stop.  Pretty sure you will be wanting to play with it first thing in the morning :)

Though you did seem to go to sleep for a bit, you got up around 1am and started chattering to yourself quite a bit.  You eventually tossed the blankies out of the crib and started yelling about this, so mommy had to come in, rescue them from the floor, return them to you and tell you to get back to sleep (thank goodness you complied; hoping this blankie thing does not become a habit...)
Love and hugs, mommy
