body parts

We've been working with Elise on learning various body parts, and she's getting pretty decent with some of them (there are still a lot she doesn't know consistently). One of the ones she picked up recently was "hair."

Last night, I was reading some books to her. I noticed in the the middle of one of the books, But Not the Hippopotamus, she started putting her hands on top of her head. I was trying to figure out why and just assumed she was being silly. Then I realized it was around the time I said, "while the moose and the bear and the goose and the hare are doing their best to keep up with the rest." Hare? Hair? Sounds the same to our cute little girl. ;)

P.S. I love that book. And almost anything else by Sandra Boynton.
