As a one-year old, Asher loved this ornament that my mom gave us. He kept pushing the button over and over to hear the song, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas".
This year, as a two year old, he has an even a deeper fascination.
First there is trying to figure out what is going on visually.
"What she doing?" (everyone is a she, he hasn't figured out male pronouns yet)
And then there's figuring out the words to the song.
"She no want a doll? Want a hippopotamus?"
I think we spent well over an hour discussing it when I first brought it out.
And then he would just sprinkle references to it randomly throughout the day.
"She no want a doll. She want a hippopotamus." "Hippopotamus TOO BIG! No fit."
Apparently Christmas can inspire some pretty deep questioning.
