The struggle with play dough

Dan and I closed out of our rental on the 7th of January. When I was dusting the banister I saw this little beauty. I have seen it before and It made me laugh. Every time I passed it on the stairs I would think... I really need to get that dried play dough out. Dawson hasn't been the crazy kid that has drawn on the walls with marker or played in his poop while "napping" but he did do this one and I think its funny. He snuck ( not a real word I know) play dough up the stairs to feed all of his super hero's. 

When Dawson was a toddler, he'd eat cardboard boxes including cardboard tampons that he would find in my bag . And two nights ago he emptied half of a 25 pound bag of kitty food all over his room. We got him a cat a week ago and we left the big bag of food in his room, I just had not carried it out yet. Dan and I were talking while Dawson was supposed to be going to bed and then it happened. We heard the sound of the big bag and food being flicked everywhere, he fed her they way we feed the ducks at the park.

We looked at each other, Dan and I. At first we couldn't tell what "that" sound was??? So we started guessing. Then we laughed before going into his room. We told Dawson that it was very nice of him to feed his kitty, she must have been very hungry.

I would have taken a picture, but Dawson has brown carpet in his room and he really spread that bag pretty thin through out his huge room....

 But for the sake of pictures here is one of  "Ruby the mouse" its a collective family name between us and the 4 year old.  And Louie the meatball.

Wrapping it up

I wanted to do one more post about all of the adoption things going on around our house lately. I still have a blanket the girl's mom had made for the baby that she gave us and some ultrasound pics that I am going to send back to her. It's something we talked about so she knows to expect them soon.

 I have gone to the store and loaded up with cute little things in my grocery cart, over and over again just to put it back in the isles. I ended up with this little toy and put it in her package yesterday.

I put some little comfy socks in there for her. 

She seemed to like the last movie we sent her so I thought I would send one more. It was meant to be sent to her for Christmas.

Then lastly, there was a book that her parents read to her as a baby and she read to her baby everyday while she was pregnant. We ordered a copy online for the baby so that if she was placed with us then we could read it to her and talk about her birth mom. 

Now they can have two copies in case the first gets worn. I am so grateful to be doing this. I am glad this is wrapping up, coming to an end and now we can move forward. 

I am not on  facebook but I did see the picture she posted with her baby, She looks very content and peaceful.
