Play Doh Again. Counting and Cleaning Up!

Maddie played with Play Doh again! It took a while to find something she enjoyed doing besides smashing it with her fingers. I made little bowls and then little balls and she enjoyed putting the balls into the bowls and transferring among each bowl.

Here's a cute video of her playing. Around 0:40 you can hear her count!! She counts from one to four "on, two, fee, four."  She does know how to count to 10 with some help!! She usually gets stuck on "five" and she will say another number. In the video she says "1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, Yay!"

A little later on in the video she says "Clean Up" when she starts to put some of the balls away.  She has also gotten very good and cleaning up! At meal time we ask her to pick up her food from the tray and put it onto her plate before she can have dessert or leave her high chair. And she is usually good about cleaning up her toys, especially if she wants a new toy to be brought out.

She's growing and learning so much so fast!
