We made some playdough. It is so easy to do. There are lots of recipes online and a few of my books have recipes in them but they are all pretty similar. Artie helped me mix and cook the mixture.
Artie wasn't so sure about playing with it at first. He held it and scrunched his nose up, it felt kind of strange. So we made the dough into balls and kicked them around. After a little while of this we tried squashing them again and it has been a success ever since. At first I would always sit with him at his little table and we'd make worms and snakes, squash shapes into the playdough, make footprints from our toys and model different animals and food for them. Now he is quite happy to have short stints playing with it himself.
One night we even had family playdough time. Adam, Arthur and I all sat at his little table and played. Sometimes having kids gives us permission to be child-like ourselves again. And, boy, it can be fun!

You are exactly right - having children gives us permission to be kids again. If we hadn't had you three, we would probably never have done all the fun things we did do. :)
