Playdough!

Yes, it has been too long since I have updated the blog on the amazing Dovenberg Duo. The kids are doing so well and seriously change every day! They seem so big and are saying many, many new words! Today, Riley was running around (some things do not change) with a camera saying "smile!" Then, he would hold his arms up and say "touchdown!" Madison loves to say everything we say (better begin watching what we are saying!) The best Madison phrase right now is "oh no!!!" Darling.

So, to mix up the routine a little bit, I made two batches of homemade playdough while the kids were napping (green and blue!) . I had picked up some fun "playdough toys" along the way, so I brought all of those out as well. I put their new booster chairs at the kitchen table and put down a vinyl tablecloth. When the kids got up from their nap, they saw the table all set up and were thrilled! They could not have been cuter. They hopped into their booster seats and did so well with the new experience! They made balls, used cookie cutters and even rolling pins. I can see this becoming a pretty common activity around our house, we all had fun!!


Our playdough ply was followed up by some more fun playtime! I pulled the kids mattresses out of their cribs and put them onto the floor, turned on some music and we had a jump/dance party! It was a blast!

A busy, but wonderful day of fun and learning.
