Happy Belated Birthday, Bubby!

Bubby had a birthday in January. We did celebrate it and I meant to post sooner, but now I'm belated. Above is a picture of some work he did on knights, weapons and armor. We have a book called Castle byDavid Macaulay that has some pictures of armour in it, so Bubby made himself an armory of clay weapons.
Bubby is the king of clay and sculpture. He is very tactile, touching everything, wanting to know how things work, trying to replicate what he sees in clay. It started to become an "issue" for dh and I, always stepping on clay and clay getting stuck in everything (including babies' mouths). So we made a clay pit. We took one of those playyard structures designed to coop up babies and toddlers and instead use it to contain clay. The rule is you can play with clay all day, but it has to stay in the clay pit. This satifies my son's need for tactile stimulation and mom & dad's need to not find clay stuck everywhere!
