Activities that don't involve shoes. . .

What do you do when your active 3 year old scalds their foot and can't wear shoes for a while??  Today it was rainbow Playdough and chalk drawings and 'big boy' cartoons all day.  I'm starting to regret that last one already.  It's not necessarily the themes of cartoons made for older kids, it's all the advertising in between for new toys.  Hopefully tomorrow we can go back to ABC Kids. 

Of course the result of all this extra work is a big grey blob at the end of the day- but it was definitely worth it- kept him still for a good four hours.  If you look closely at the next photo, you will see Bad Mothering- Exibit A.  Li was helping me mop the floors and the bucket of water spilt on his foot somehow.  It was only water from the tap (I usually use boiling water from the kettle) but still hot enough to do some fair damage to a delicate foot.
