big boy fun

One of Kase's newest big-boy activities is playing Play-Dough.  We bought a set before we went on vacation this past summer, but haven't gotten it out much until recently.  It's also been fun to watch Kase's imagination unfold as he creates new things with his play dough.

This creation is called "white donut"

 He also thinks it's fun to have Mommy put the play dough into little balls so that he can put them into the cup, dump them out of the cup, and then repeat...multiple times.
  

The oven timer has turned into my newest parenting technique.  Not only is it our timer for when Kase needs to have a time out, but it's a great timer for letting him know when it's time to move to a new activity.  For example, tonight while playing play dough it was getting close to bath time.  I knew it was going to be a battle, so I set the timer for 5 minutes...and it worked!  As soon as the timer sounded he hopped off the chair and said "time for bath Momma!"

This little/big boy is growing up too fast! :)
