"Yay, I knifed!"

Spencer is really into Play-doh right now. And whereas Play-doh used to be my arch-enemy (particularly when our table was over carpet in our old house) I have now embraced Play-doh and it has become my ally. Nothing holds his attention as long as playing with Play-doh does and it buys me lots of time in the kitchen particularly. One day as I was cleaning-up Spencer said, as he was slicing into a long string of Play-doh, "Mom I knifed the snake. Yay, I knifed!" Also notice the $5 bill on the table that Sp received in a card from Nonna Aliberti. When he opened the card he said, "Wow! A hundred dollars!" If only we could all be so easily pleased.
