Amanda is fascinated by animals right now, especially the circus animals she sees on “Dumbo”. She takes her little plastic toy animals and pairs them up to play with them in turn: mommy and baby zebra, mommy and baby giraffe, and her favorites, mommy and baby elephant. She gets really upset if she accidentally loses one of them, and we’ll have to turn the house upside down while she cries, “where’s baby Dumbo?”
Every elephant is “Dumbo”, and every pig is “Wilbur”, and every horse is “Spirit”, whether she sees them in a book, a nature documentary, or whatever. Once she collected every elephant-themed toy she could find (baby rattle, stuffed animal, plastic figurines, even preschool scissors) and gathered them together in a “pen” she made. It’s amazing to see how that little toddler mind works!
