I knew she was going to try and taste it, and for a while I tried to stop her. I realized, after several attempts, that she needed to figure this one out on her own. Plus Jaci and I made it so I knew what was in it, nothing toxic. So, I sat there and let her take a tiny taste of it.
Julia :“Wahoo, new smock! I am all set to play, with DOUGH!”
Mama: “Uh, Julia, that isn’t for eating…”
Denied!
Julia:“Maybe if I move faster, I can eat it. Got it! That’s NASTY”
Mama: “Let’s try another route, here are
some fun things to smoosh it with.”
Julia: “One day, I will create a master piece so beautiful grown men will drop to their knees sobbing/”
Mama: “There you go, smash it”
Julia: “Ya know, I think I might try another piece of this stuff, might have just had a bad bite. Nope, it’s all nasty!”
Julia: “Oh, Lord, it is like a thousand seas have poured into my mouth!”
Julia: “ I think it’s still stuck on my tongue!”
Julia: “Good plan mom, this should wash it down.”
Mama: “We don’t eat play dough.”
Julia shakes her head in agreement.
lesson learned!
