December 7, 2000 - Topple the Elephant

http://sjtracey.smugmug.com/Other/Daily-Dose-Photos/10944059_Xtq2D#796235344_oV6XjThe first "game" we played with Erin was one that we called "Topple the Elephant." We'd make a pile of some of her stacking toys, and on top place a stuffed elephant. Erin would then swing her arms and knock the elephant off his tower. Each time she successfully unseated the poor thing, she'd smile and laugh like it was the funniest thing she could imagine happening. I got a huge kick out of watching her get so excited over something that seemed so simple (to me... at 32), and would happily re-seat the elephant time after time after time.
