uh-oh, legos


jacob recently was rewarded for keeping his pants dry for a week straight (a major accomplishment). saturday we took him to the toy store, where he was allowed to pick out the toy of his choice to buy with his leftover christmas money (shhh...he didn't know about the christmas money part :) ).
with my mother as my witness, i was doing everything i could to keep myself from screaming as we opened the packages of all the oh-so-tiny pieces. jacob loved it.
we've set some rules, so i am not picking up tiny lego pieces all over the house. he is allowed to play legos in his room, and only during his afternoon rest time (sans sister kate, aka babyzilla). and now jacob loves rest time and can't wait to go spend an hour in his room.
i guess these legos have their pros and cons. :o)

I still need to set some rules for legos. I have found some small pieces from time to time pretty much in every room of the house. Kade gets his grubby hands on them and filters them through the house! You are entering the hard separation of age appropriate toys stage. lovely! But legos are great!

Do you have the recipe for home made playdough (doesn't stick to clothes or rugs)? aunt martha
