M and the Slightly Terrifying Giraffe

M has been much more interactive with the world in the last couple of days (again, I think she gets up in the night and reads the child development books to figure out what she's meant to be doing).  And one of the things that she's started really liking is toys.  We have one of which she is particularly fond which combines music and brightly-colored soft fluffiness.


She will reach for it and grasp it and she smiles when the music starts.


But here's the problem.  I think it's creepy.  It moves its head slowly from side to side, and I think it looks like something from a horror movie.  Like it has come to life and is just waiting for us to go to sleep so it can go on a murderous rampage.  Because it doesn't move fast - you have to really be watching to see it, which makes it seem sneaky.  Very sneaky.
