Yesterday Jean made playdough before Joshua's arrival. After Cam left for work the 3 of us went into the playroom to try the playdough. Joshua was very taken with it; he especially liked having me roll it into balls. Then we used our small rolling pin to flatten it. Jean gave him a box of Mr Men (flat) molds to press onto the playdough; he showed a particular liking for Mr Happy. Playdough kept the 2 of us amused for 20-25 minutes, and then we turned to building a tower with duplo. I tried to go straight up, but Joshua kept choosing the longest pieces he could find, so our 2x2 base had higher levels reaching out in all directions. And we perched a few toy people on the upper levels. Then Joshua spotted the marbleworks - but he didn't start on that right away! First he disassembled the tower, piece by piece, and put it all away in the proper box (we had previously put the playdough away). I hadn't suggested this, it was his initiative....
