Slime

I have been very unproductive this week.  Calin is getting his last two molars in and had 104° temperature Tuesday and Wednesday, he hasn't been napping and has been waking up throughout the night and early early in the morning, and during the day he has been super cranky, which is understandable since he is TWO, teething, not eating, not sleeping . . . yikes!  So I have been neglecting the house work big time this week, and the kitchen/dinning room is a total mess with dishes and clutter and costumes in the works.  Yuck!  I tried to start cleaning today, but Calin was NOT having it.  So we made a bigger mess with some green slime and homemade playdough.

It took Calin about 10 minutes to warm up to the slime.  He kept freaking out because his hands were messy.  He was really mad at me for making him put his hands in slime.  But he did warm up to it, and played with it for a good 45 minutes.  When the playdough was ready I tried switching activities, but he panicked and refused to give up his slime.  So we'll save the playdough for later :)

Oh poor kid! Molars are tough.

Slime, gross. Just looking at the pictures makes my skin crawl. Maybe that activity will be saved just for aunt kyla to do with Ty :)

Makai is getting a molar right now too and it is so sad. He's exhibiting the same behaviors. I think you've got the right idea with distraction. Fun slime!
