You may be surprised to hear this but Lincoln's never played with play dough. To be honest I looked up a few different edible play dough recipes a long time ago that I never got the ingredients for (there is a peanut butter one and a jello one floating around the Internet that both sounded good and not too difficult). But needless to say the bigger I got and further into pregnancy I got I realized this was a gift Santa was meant to bring, and it was a huge hit! Thank you to Santa for picking up my slack :)

Wrapping the play dough around his thumb...

But this next little guy was almost the death of me! A sad attempt at a football...
