Matthew's Day of Play

Matthew and Mommy stayed home all day yesterday and played, played, and played! We went from one toy to the next and then started all over again. First, Matthew decided he wanted to play with Daddy's change jar. He dumped it out, then put it back in the jar, and then dumped it out, and put it back...I think you can see the cycle :).

Boy am I glad the days of putting everything in his mouth are over!


Second, it was on to the vehicle puzzle (Thanks Matt, Erin, and Cosette!).


Who knew one could get such joy from watching a car go around and around on a track?! :)

He loves watching the car knock down the little signs and cones.

After playing with the little car, he decided he wanted to play with the cars from his garage.

He discovered that the cars could be pushed down the hallway, amazing!

It takes intense concentration when putting the people in the cars to push around.

"OOOHHHH" (He says this a lot)

He then got a twinge from his artistic side and decided it was time to color with his color wonder markers. (although, he did spend about as much time taking the markers in and out of the package as he did actually coloring).

What would be a day of play without busting out the Thomas trains?!

He likes to build his own track for the trains, hmmm...engineer? :)

He is very good about taking the track apart and cleaning up when he is finished playing with it.

Who could ask for a better day?! I know I had as much if not more fun than the little man!
