Our favorite things

I am a little behind on my blogging. So here is a marathon catch up! The girls love to be outside, like most children. Tai had seen a segment on Sesame Street the Elephants at a zoo. Ever since, both girls have been obsessed with elephants. Tai's Grandma Great Whicker found an elephant many months ago, and Tai kept asking her everytime she saw her if she had bought another one, so one day, Grandma Great showed up with another one. Now Tai had a mommy and daddy. Well, what is missing from that? A Baby. I took her shopping at Target with Uncle Shad, and low and behold, there was a baby one there, so we had to complete the family. Next thing I know she was saying that she wanted an elephant for Christmas that it's trunk went down(refer to picture below) and she demonstrated with her finger. How she dreamed up that I will never know, probably the same place she dreamed up about being a Marine Biologist, (which Yes, it is still her job of choice). Anyway, I was shopping at Walmart and saw an elephant (the lighter one) that the trunk went down. So I spoiled her and got it! Now we go outside with a bucket of water, cheap pump hand soap, and a baby hair brush to wash the elephants, just like they were doing on Sesame Street. The only problem is they fight over the water and the elephants. Teya just mostly likes to be IN the water, and that causes problems for all the elephants trying to get cleaned. Gotta love sisters!
