Anyhoo, Colin loves his Play Doh. His favorite part is rolling all the colors together and smashing them back into different cans. This is hard for me to watch! As a child, I was so OCD with my Play Doh that I didn't want to mix the pretty colors. I gasped and cringed when Colin smashed the turquoise Doh into the brown can, but I showed great restraint and let Colin play HIS way (later I frantically tried to separate all the colors).
He and my mom (GaGa) had a ton of fun making Doh jewelery. And yes, I have to keep a close eye on Colin because he does try to sneak a pinch into his mouth every now and then. But who doesn't? Eating Play Doh is a Pre-School right of passage, and every self-respecting American toddler must try it - multiple times - to be sure that every color does in fact taste terrible. There is something so great about the way Play Doh smells - it sure doesn't translate to the way it tastes. (Cringe) I could get lock jaw just thinking about it right now.
