Let me just start off by telling you that my daughter is a little abnormal. Not crazy weird abnormal (well sometimes), but she just likes unusual things. At the beginning of April, right before she was turning the big 3, she became fascinated with goats. Not just any goat, blue goats. Now like any parent I wanted to make sure that she got the present she desired so much for the birthday. So I got on the Disney website and ordered the Baby Einstein blue goat. Thank god it arrived on her birthday. I waited for Jaaron to get home and then we let her open the box. The look on her face and they way she screamed "it's a blue goat!" was enough happiness for me to live on for a year, I have never seen excitement like that. Now blue goat sleeps with her and he has traveled to many destinations with us, even the beach. Now just recently this story has developed even a bigger twist. There is a mysterious GIANT BLUE GOAT that comes into her room at night and tries to steal the baby blue goat from her. I know that kids at this age develop imaginary friends sometimes and I guess hers is a giant blue goat, I mean why not? So now everywhere we go, and I do mean everywhere, she tells anyone she comes in contact with about this giant blue goat. It is pretty entertaining and she discusses him with such exuberance that it makes the story even more entertaining. She tells me that she yells at him to go away at night, and apparently during the day he works at a pizza parlour. Ahh the life of a goat. I am sure there aren't many little girls out there who have blue goats as friends, and I would like to think my child is just very inventive. Who knows what's next for the Thomas Troop...
