I have no idea why she wouldn't let go of the bucket (maybe she was feeding them?), but here's Morgan in a series of pictures with the twins' Lion and Tiger. It's lots of fun watching Morgan drag the Tiger around (it's her favourite of the 'big' stuffed toys), because, as you can see, it's bigger than she is. The third picture shows her doing her 'growl'. A bit of an explanation on that: Morgan is a little obsessive right now with a cartoon featuring a character named 'Diego'. Diego is a cutely-drawn Hispanic boy who saves animals and teaches Spanish words through each episode to the show's young viewing audience.
Canada could learn a lesson or two from this popular show by putting together something that might help teach its young children French through a similar form of entertainment. I remember a show called Chez Helene from my youth which attempted as much, and there was once a series of Sesame Street episodes which had the 'Spanish lessons' segments of the program replaced with French lessons, but those episodes seem to be out of circulation now.Anyway, Morgan is getting a little too adamant in her Diego addiction, crying loudly when we won't drop the Diego DVD Mommy bought (yes, she probably now regrets that purchase just a bit) in the player. "Daygo! Daygo!" Our little whiner then has to settle for some lesser cartoon hero who at one time had an equal footing in her psyche - until something about little Diego took hold.
All that having been said, one of the cuter things she does is something she picked up from a Diego episode, where Diego prompted his viewers to growl like his little pet Jaguar, aptly named "Baby Jaguar". Now, when I want to be entertained by it, I'll say, "Morgan! Reeowr! Reeowr!" and she'll respond with her little - and very cute - "Reeowr! Reeowr!" This picture provides the visual.
By the way, this is another instance where a series of pictures looks 'posed', but wasn't. Morgan rounded up the big cats all by herself, and then snuggled in between them. I was just lucky enough to be in the room and near the camera before the scene changed, and the scene is always changing quickly.Her pronunciation of 'tiger' also gets better by the day.
OH! ...and I wanted to add this one. I love her eyes.
