So I've been feeling bad for Caleb having to be inside in the hot hot Vegas summers. He gets bored out of his mind and there are just only so many things I can think of him to do, so I get bored too. I went on a couple of websites to find some ideas and I came across finger painting. Realizing I was in for a real mess, I decided to get some good footage of the event. The site suggested that with young toddlers you should home make the finger paint out of pudding with some food coloring in it so that when (inevitably) the kid puts it into his mouth, it's okay because hey, it's just pudding. That worked for about a minute. Caleb happily finger painted with his one little finger and it looked a lot like this:
As you can see he already has a little green on his mouth, but most of it is on the page.
Then he tried it.
Again.
And again.
And again. And he wondered why would anyone waste this stuff on paper! Just put it right in your mouth!
That's when he decided to go straight for the mother lode. When I wouldn't let him just eat straight from the bowl, he responded something like this:
My favorite picture. The whininess is so evident. I decided after this to go big or go home and let him play with the pudding. 
One happy little boy.

What a funny boy. Great pictures--looks like he had a lot of fun, which is what's important right?
I remember feeling the same way down in Vegas. I tried this but Belle had nothing to do with it....she didn't want to get her hands dirty! She is such a girl! I love the pictures!He is so dang cute:)
That looks like fun! Did you guys have a good anniversary trip?
This is so cute! Did you use vanilla pudding or pistacio? Good idea. Happy belated anniversary!
Love it! What a great idea! I'll have to remember this when Nora is old enough.
Hahahahaha! Great idea and great pictures! I love the one where you tried to tell him no to the mother load. And the finale one. :) Loves and hugs!
He looks like he is having a blast what a brave Mom! My kids love the peanut butter playdough you can make.
