Play-Dough and Snow!

Yesterday evening while I was making dinner I got out the Play-Dough which has been sitting in a closet for about two years and let Ben play with it for the first time. At first Ben was pretty confused and tried several times to take a bite of it, but after showing him a how to squish and make shapes he finally got the idea.

 

A knife! Don't worry he was carefully monitored ;)

 

Getting to be a Play-Dough pro!

 



 A few minutes into the Play-Dough  I happened to glance out the window. I was surprised to see giant, wet....SNOWFLAKES! It was really coming down! I grabbed Ben, quickly threw his coat on ( and realized that we really needed to stock up on winter wear) and tried to send him outside to see the snowflakes. He was too little last year to notice the snow.  But, instead of running out the door like he normally would do, he stood  rather puzzled and unsure peering out from inside. I had to bundle up Felicity and take his hand outside before he realized it was okay to let the snow fall on him. He was really excited and talked a mile a minute in his little language pointing at the snow. It was so cute!

Unsure but loving it!

 (Notice he is still holding the fork from his Play-Dough playing.)

He decided to have  seat and watch it fall.

( Isn't that coat awesome by the way. I got it for $3.00 at the thrift store last year. *happy dance*)

 

 

The snow only lasted a few minutes but it was fun to see Ben's reaction. It made me look forward to the first real snow we have. I think he is going to have fun building snowmen and sledding.

 

 

And my post would not be complete without Felicity. Same place crazy pose :)
