I bought the cutest hand puppet the other day! It's a dog, wearing a Santa's hat, and he will "bark" out 3 different Christmas songs. The cute thing about this toy is that you have to make the dog bark by moving your hand inside to the beat of each song. It's kind of hard to explain, but loads of fun!
Anyway, I bought the thing with Madison in mind. I thought she'd be quite taken with it, but I was wrong. She looked at it a couple of times and back at me. She could really have cared less. And try as I might to get her interested, she's a girl of her own mind and simply was not impressed with Grammy's new toy. In fact, the only impression I was making on the child was proving myself to be an idiot! LOL!
Not to worry. My $5.99 didn't go to waste! My girls LOVED it! They barked back! They tried to bite it! They tried to sniff under its tail! They tried to grab it out of my hands! They whimpered, they cried and they jumped all over trying to get closer to it! It was a sight to see. We had fun playing with it and they seemed genuinely perturbed when I put it up.
I'll save it for next year and perhaps Madison will be more taken with it then. For now I'll just have to entertain the girls with this new "toy"!
