I'm a tired mama these days so I just sat there and let her. Before I was a mom, I had these visions that we would play in creative, special ways all the time. And we do play in creative way sometimes but sometimes I realize I am old and tired and as long as she's not hurting herself, I just let it happen.


Anybody else let their kids play in dirty clothes?
Or can you top my story with some disgusting place you let your child play?


I laughed when I read this! Actually, this is a very useful play. You are enabling her learning! (Maybe when she's 3 she can do the laundry by herself, LOL.)
I was reminded of my daughter and her favorite blanket. She, of course, took it everywhere, and hated it when I washed. She preferred it dirty and smelly. When she was about 4 (and there wasn't much of it left anyway), she cut off a piece of it and gave to me so I could wash it to my heart's content.
