Mia has been out of control lately. I think it is because she has been cooked up in the house to much. It isn't our fault really its been storming like crazy and when its not raining its FREEZING! So unfortunately, taking Mia out to the park anymore is impossible.
So shes been bursting at the seams with unused energy! Poor thing has been getting into trouble left and right and driving us INSANE! So last night, I wanted to do something new with her to help stave off some of that mischievous energy.
I mixed up some homemade dough for her to play with. I have not made it in such a long time that I thought for sure it would be a new fun project for her to kill some time with until bed time. It worked! I mixed some flour, water and salt and soon had a big lump of play dough. I sat Mia down at the table and showed it to her. I also gave her some cookie cutters I had laying around. She went nuts with the dough. Her favorite thing was to go "smashy!" She would take a ball of dough (that I had to roll up for her) and smash it with her cookie cutters. It was the funniest thing to watch. She had a ball. She later started playing more with the dough itself and made her own Christmas tree and snowmen!
We had lots of fun together. I wonder if we will play "smashies" more tomorrow?! haha
