Yesterday, the redhead and I broke out the Play-Doh. The dough came from Aunt Sarah and Uncle Grande, who kept the redhead last weekend while Mr. Baseball and I went to the mountains.
The Play-Doh went over really well. Redhead didn't really know what to do with it, but he liked it when I made snakes and dough balls. I even got out a plastic knife with which to make the eyes on the snakes and cut the dough.
Then I got the brilliant idea that it would be really cute to spell out "I Love You" with the play-doh and take a picture of the redhead with the love message to send to friends and family. After all, he was being really sweet and having a fun time.
While I ran to grab the camera, he turned on me, and this is what I got...
A paradox of sorts isn't it? A knife-wielding toddler saying "I Love You" doesn't quite give me the warm fuzzies.
So - don't call Social Services yet - I took the knife away and finally got a sweet picture to send to my friends and family.

20 coins in my pocket:
I still pretty much only like to make snakes with play-doh. One of my favorite Far Side cartoons is the one called "God Makes the Snake" and he's rolling it out and says, "These things are easy!" hee hee hee.
OOO - you need the play-doh fun factory - he'll get a TOTAL kick out it!!!
i love the one with the knife. the expression is priceless!
What a cute idea!
I liked the first picture better...it was all, "Yeah I love you--GOT IT?"
I would kill to have hair the color of his. Naturally, that is.
Okay, I'm so with Lula on this one! Stray from the conventional, baby! Knives are so boyish! What's a boy without one? Well, safe. But beyond that.....I have no idea where to go with this.....
I admire your beautiful straight play-doh letters. Mine would have been much more ripply.
Cute pics! I totally want his hair.
Oh, and is that a highchair he's sitting in? How great is that! Dylan hasn't sat in one since he was 15 months old... the downer of being a 2nd child.
I like the one with the knife better.
Like the redhead is saying...."I heart you - and you better heart me back or ...or I'll cut you"
Very funny
Oh my goodness "the redhead" is so cute. I have a few of my own. He is amazing with play dough. Amazing.
I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog when I was featured on SITS. I look forward to many more visits. Off to read more.
I'm so excited, too! I just can't hide it....ooh ooh...oooooooohhhhhh
I so out of originals tonight. You'll know what I mean soon...
I feel....like.....I....have been typing....all.....day.
Your comment rocked. I always shout out for my peeps.
Love it!! The pictures are priceless. He is so stinking cute.
So, I just caught up on your story with you and your man. Sweet. But I think the best part was when while reading I heard NKOTB on your player. You're my hero.

He is just so cute...and I love playdoh...my kids love playdoh...together we love play doh....so inexpensive but so much fun. I never thought to spell out words and send pics, but that is a great idea!
Such a cutie. The look on his face with the knife is priceless!
So so cute! The last one is sweet, but I love the crazed look in his eyes in the "evil" one. :)
Cute, cute!!! Why don't our playdough times look so idyllic? Our post-playdough dates look like a confetti factory explosion...
Blessings!
I am so glad he used the dough! He was not too impressed with it last Sunday and I went to the trouble to MAKE it and all. Oh well...I am glad you used it seestar!
He is too cute!!
So cute! And I very much prefer the one with the knife. That's the real thing!!
Great facial expressions!
