Getting Creative

With the weather turning cold, we have become very creative with Dave's playtime. Over the weekend, I converted the garage (which is heated, so awesome!) into a playroom one afternoon.





He was really upset at first that he wasn't able to actually go outside. But he warmed up to the idea that he could still play with his outside toys.












Riding around on his trike.








I recently made some playdoh to go along with a gift that I'm making our niece Sophie for Christmas. Dave absolutely loves it. It's nice because it's made with ingredients that are edible, though you wouldn't want to eat it-very salty!



Taking a bite of the playdoh. Here's a video of him playing.









He loves when I make him snakes out of the playdoh. It's really the only animal I can make, but he doesn't have to know that! This is of him trying to get me to fix a snake that he cut in half.





We also took a twin bed that we had hanging out in Dave's room and put it in our spare room. Now Dave has lots of space to play, and we put some of his favorite bigger toys in there.





Goofing around with mom.











Building a big tower with his wooden blocks. Note the concentration!













His favorite part is knocking the tower down once it's too high for him to reach. Never fails to get a laugh out of him.






And here's another video. This one is of him doing an assortment of things in his room. He's easily distracted! Playing in room video.

This next week we are traveling to visit my family down in Evansville for Thanksgiving. Can't wait, it's been too long since we last came down there! We'll also be celebrating Dave's birthday (can he really be two?!) so I should have lots of updates either while we're there or once we get back. Hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving!
