cabin fever

After getting about 17 inches of snow on Monday and Tuesday we've been snowed in for a couple of days. It has also been really cold so we haven't gotten Luca out to play in a few days and he's starting to get some cabin fever!


We've been playing with "doh" a few times a day. Always in short bursts as it is still difficult for Luca not to sample the play-doh. Today he started taking it into the closet and hiding while he sneaks bites because he knows if he gets caught eating the play-doh it gets taken away. Somehow the temptation remains.

Just before the storm Luca got a big box to play in. It didn't attract him much until he got stranded inside. Now it has become a comfy hiding place and even more fun...a slide.



We've been spending time playing downstairs running and exploring. Luca found a new hiding place in the dryer. He thinks it's really fun to climb in and out but he got very frustrated that he couldn't close the door on himself. Being the obliging mama I shut the door for him and we had fun playing knock knock.


We have also spent a lot of time painting. Luca is starting to like using a paintbrush. Although we usually end up using hands to paint, Luca doesn't love the feeling of paint on his hands now and stops frequently to ask for help wiping his hands clean before plunging them back into paint again. I tried to get a picture of Luca and his latest masterpiece but he deeply involved...
