automobile elephant

When Benjamin was born, Miss Angel gave him a wonderful mobile for his crib. It played Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach. Benjamin adored it.

Before he could walk, before he could even stand unsupported, he would pull himself upright in his crib and select his favorite composer: Mozart.

This afternoon, Benjamin started requesting his "automobile elephant." I had no idea what that meant. Eventually, we figured out that he meant "mobile" and not "automobile" and that he was missing the one seen here:

So I got it out of storage and set it up in his playroom for him. And he lay down beneath it and stared up at it.

And the way it's set up now, I could lie down with him and finally look up to see what he saw every night, three years ago.

Thanks, Miss Angel.
