Favorite Things

One of Merlyn's favorite activities is playing with Playdoh. She got a ton for Christmas (you can never have too much Playdoh) and lined them all up the first time she used them. You can see that she was so eager to play that she hadn't even gotten dressed first.

My mom gave Merlyn the Colorforms Silly Faces Game for Christmas. It was a great discovery -- Merlyn loves it and so do I! She and I played it one morning when Berkleigh slept in. It's similar to Cooties in principle but it's a lot easier (perfect for younger players). Afterward I went to take a shower and Merlyn played the game by herself.

Since then, everyone has played the game and it's been a big hit. I especially like it because Merlyn and Berkleigh can play it by themselves while I get housework done. They show me their funny faces and even tell me who they are. From left to right above, the funny faces are Berkleigh, Merlyn, Myles, and Carter.
