We love play dough!

Here is my little 'Martha Stewart' doing what she loves... making play dough!






Elly could make play dough with her eyes closed! Before we even started making our own play dough, she found a video on YouTube on how to make it and would watch it all the time! She was the one who told me about the ingredients we needed and how to make it... as I thought "huh?, doesn't it just come  already made in a tub?" and "what the heck is 'cream of tartar' and where do I find it!?"

Well, I know what cream of tartar is now and in what isle I can find it, and it's become such a fun (and quiet) activity for us to do together while Noah naps. But what I love about it most, is watching Elly and her captivating mannerisms and the way she narrates the whole process, as she imagines herself making her own instructional video- for her 'large audience' of 'YouTube followers.'

Thanks El for teaching me little lessons all the time. Wether they're about making play dough, or more profound ones such as patience, forgiveness , trust, or unconditional love... just to name a few, I really appreciate it.
