Eatable play dough, snowman, and teething!


Yesterday I was watching one of my favorite shows (Jon and Kate Plus 8) and they had a recipe for eatable play dough. I thought it would be fun to try and a good distraction for Sebastian who as just been miserable lately do to the fact that he is cutting teeth. Which shocked Donald and I since Sebastian has had all of his teeth for about a year and half now. I thought I was crazy at first. I went online and checked out teeth charts and sure enough it said that he shouldn't cut his next molars until 6 as they are called 6yr permanent molars. So I just figured hes cranky because he's tired or he's chewing on stuff because its a nervous habit. Well Sunday we were at our friends the Moore's for dinner and Sebastian was just extremely cranky and was crying a lot which he never does. So I decided to look in his mouth and sure enough theres a molar starting to break through. Poor kid he is just so miserable. Pray for us that the other three will pop through quickly!


He wasn't to sure about the edible play dough. And of course he wouldn't try it cause he's so picky! But i did and it was pretty good. Here's the recipe if anyone wants to try it. Equal parts peanut butter honey and powder milk (Sebastian is lactose intolerant so I found a recipe that substituted corn flour for the milk).


Look at that concentration, I helped a little bit.


Looks kinda of like Elvis!

Cute snowman. We have done the peanut butter playdoh before and the kids liked it...I just don't like when they make things edible that normally are not, because then kids think they can eat all kinds. I like Jon and Kate too, but I always miss it. Last night, I watched The Bachelor instead, I think.
