Baa, Baa, Blue Sheep

The "duck butt" displayed two posts back is actually part of a refrigerator magnet toy. You match the animals and put them in the barn and it sings a song. However, we noticed a few weeks ago the "Blue Sheep" had disappeared.

Then, the other day, Alexis dumped out the entire box of her shoes on the floor. And what do you know? There's the "blue sheep butt"!

Bill and I looked at each other amazed (we thought Alexis had shown the sheep the inside of the garbage can, as she's been doing with other things). We decided to dump out the rest of her boxes looking for the font half of the sheep, but no luck. So we searched other areas in her room hoping it was corralled somewhere. But again, no luck.

So the "sheep butt" joined the rest of his barn yard friends on the fridge, hoping his face would also decide to show up. It wasn't even an hour later and Alexis was holding the "sheep front". We have no idea where she pulled it from! But apparently all it took was showing her the "sheep butt" to remind her she'd hid a "sheep front" somewhere.

So as the song goes: "You've made a match. Look what you've found. You've made a match. Make a sheep sound: baaaaa."

Unfortunately, Alexis hasn't quite figured out how to put the pieces in the barn herself. They tend to just end up on the floor:

And then back on the refrigerator door... sometimes.
