The Mommy Shark

Madeline received some fun bath toys for her birthday --- there are quite a variety of fish, seals, sharks, goldfish, starfish, and turtles (which she insists are caterpillars) just to name a few. She LOVES them. She loves them so much so that part of them stay in the tub for bath time and part of them get played with around the house. Madeline creates all kinds of imaginary play scenarios with her "fishies" as she is doing here while waiting for her breakfast.

Please take note of the shark:

There are only a couple of sharks in the whole batch, and they are larger than the other fish.

In Madeline's world of fish play, guess which fish is ALWAYS the Mommy? The shark!

I guess sometimes this Mommy is a scary shark! But, at least most of the time, the Mommy Shark is feeding, hugging, and kissing the other "fishies". Eric and I just laugh everytime she talks about the Shark Mommy.
