Ahhh a nice peppermint mocha really makes it feel like the holidays, doesn't it? Kevin and I both love peppermint mochas (along with most of the free world). But, this is not the peppermint mocha I'll be talking about. Nathaniel received a Play doh stamp toy in his stocking. It looks kind of like a small bowling ball pin that has a swivel top that when turned changes the stamp image on the bottom. You then push it in the play doh and it makes a swirl or flower, etc. Well, I guess Nate has seen us use a pepper mill. This toy reminded him of a pepper mill. It is actually a lot like a pepper mill so it has been funny. He looks like a waiter at a restaurant that asks if you want fresh pepper.
Now I'm not sure why what he did next happened, but it did. Nate kept running to Mocha's cage and twisting the toy in his cage and then running back to us. As he was running he'd say 'peppermint mocha'. I am assuming he means pepper mill mocha. That is all that toy is known as now - peppermint mocha. We couldn't find it last night and he just kept repeating where is peppermint mocha. It cracks us up on several levels… one, I don't know where he learned what a pepper mill even is and two, why does mocha need some and three it hasn't been used in the play doh yet.
Regardless, Santa has a way with gifts ;)
