I guess I’m on my own…

The other day Sam and I were in the shed and I showed her where our Christmas tree was stored and started telling her that we were going to put our tree up soon and all of our Christmas decorations. Sam cannot wait for Christmas. She is absolutely bursting at the seams and keeps saying, “Christmas is taking a long time!” so I knew she’d be excited. I keep thinking we need to get some sort of lawn decorations for her this year, but am unsure of what to get. My first thought is a snowman since she loves them so much, but I thought I’d see what she thought. We have been looking at them in Target a lot. I asked her if she remembered the big decorations at Target and this is the conversation that transpired:
Me: Do you remember we saw all those decorations at Target? The snowman with earmuffs like Daddy? The penguins? The train?
Sam: Yes.
Me: Which one was your very favorite?
Sam: The penguins.
Me: The penguins? Really?
Sam: Yes.
[approximately 5 second pause]
Sam: Mommy?
Me: Yes, Sam?
Sam: What is penguins?
Sigh. So much for asking for her input.
