Meet Mr. Potato Head, aka "taboe" - it always sounds like Ava is saying the word "table" but she is in fact talking about the Potato Head.... ALL THE TIME!! She is pretty much obsessed. We gave her a large bin with 4 potato head dolls and assorted body parts for Christmas. She loves them all, and I guess it has helped her learn the body parts and where things go on a body too. She loves the mustache and calls it "stash". The potato in this photo is actually a female, sporting feminine shoes, visor, and eyeshadow, but Ava insisted that she needed a "stash" so she has one.
Her other favorite thing to do is to make her toys "sleepy" and then pat their backs and cover them with her Pooh lovey blanket. This is cute and fine, but with the larger Potato Head dolls that have the butt flap in the back (so you can store things inside them), the "butts" fall off when she pats them too vigorously! This upsets her, and she then cries "butt, butt, butt!" until one of us puts the butt back on. Then she makes the butt fall off again. They really do not stay attached very well. I believe that this is a design flaw, and Perry and I do not remember having this problem with our Mr. Potato Heads back in the 80's!!!!
