'It's a Snowman!"

W sat at the table and grabbed a hunk of playdoh. He started diving the playdoh into small uneven amounts. 


He picked up the first piece and gently rolled it between his palms and set it to the side. W continued to roll several more dough pieces between his hands to create different sized balls. 

"It's a ball!"


After rolling several different balls out he started stacking them up one on top of the other. 
"It's a snowman!"

He added the last ball on top when the tower of balls started falling over. 
"Oh no!"

W grabbed onto all of the balls to try and prevent the structure from falling over. 


He steadied the tower, but within seconds it fell over. 

"Oh no! Stop that!"



W tried several more times to try and keep the tower standing. No luck. 



W's persistence is undeniable. He seems to set small goals for himself as he plays. In the video above you get a quick sample of W's interaction with different materials and the imaginative play he engages in as he works.

Instead of just talking about our own skin, the kids started talking about their families.  "Well, I have brown skin and so does my mom and my brother. My dad has white skin!"  "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families.  "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
