I thought of this pic by my friend Mel when I was making this playdough today. Doesn't it look beautiful? It was so hard for me to give it over to Avery though. I am a bit obsessive compulsive and the thought of this beautiful playdough becoming one big clump of yuck unnerved me a little. No, I am not nearly as bad as Kate (from John and Kate plus 8) and I have actually gotten better now that I have kids. I still love the smell of fresh laundry, the dishwasher running, vaccuum lines on the carpet, and a clean playroom every night, but I have learned how to let things go and relax. It is still hard for me to sit still, but I have come to truly enjoy the chaos my lively and beautiful children bring to my life.
I totally connect with this post. I love opening the new playdough containers to see it sitting in there in its perfect shape and color. But, I too have learned to let it go...if it all gets mixed up, it all gets mixed up! I have also let go of doing a head count on all of the Little People every night : ) (Now, I'm just trying to keep up with all of Molly's American Girl accessories!) By the way, I really like the new background for the blog.
