I spent 4 hours in emerge the other night because Carter had stuck playdough in his ears. Everyone in the waiting room thought this was funny...and admittedly it kind of was. I mean, if I wasn't the mom whose kid had done it, I would have thought it was hysterical!
Carter wasn't thrilled. In the moment, in his 5 year old brain, he was being smart. Carter had been working on a face made out of playdough, and he couldn't get the ears just right, so he was trying to take a mold of his own ears. It was a creative thought, but in practise proved to be more trouble than he bargained for. We got the dough out of his ears, and he will likely not try that again. I admire his out of the box thinking and creativity!
