Mardi Gras!

Celebrating Fat Tuesday! I've been waiting to post these pictures of Will until Mardi Gras. One night when we were over at Grandpa and Grandma Peterson's house, Grandma brought out the beads. Will was entertained for quite a while putting on and taking off all those beads!

Choo, Choo, Choo I LOVE Trains!

Will has developed a LOVE of trains. That seems to be what he plays with the most right now and let me tell you we've watched more Thomas the Train DVDs than you can imagine. It is amazing how he can name all the trains even though some of them look so similar. Here is a video of Will playing trains yesterday. It is fun to watch him start to play by himself a little bit.

Playing with our Creative Side!

Happy Valentine's Day from us! Above you'll see pictures of the art project Will and I did for Valentine's. Will doesn't care much for messes, so I wasn't sure how this was going to go. I was pleasantly surprised how well Will cooperated putting his thumb in the ink. Each time he pressed him thumb onto the stamp pad he'd say, "A mess". It was a fun project!

Last Saturday while Daddy was gone to class in Brookings, we got the playdough out. We've had to take baby steps in working with playdough. At first he would not even touch it or have anything to do with it. A few weeks ago at Family Foundations Will took an interest in the playdough, but only if he could use tools to play with it. We hit the jackpot last weekend when Will not only played with playdough for a half hour, but poked it, squished it, pounded it and actually touched it with his hands! Doesn't he look like such a big boy sitting at the table in a chair?
