Cold Frog on My Head

...today he wanted it on his head, and then rubbed it on his neck and my arm for a while and then laid it on my desk and wandered off. Other days he wants it at bed time and puts it on his pillow after giving it several kisses. Occasionally he will let the dog kiss it, but only when it's cold, and only when we are there to watch, or at least I don't think he's let her kiss it when we aren't looking. I wonder if he's trying to get her to turn into a frog, or the frog to turn into a dog, who knows. What I do know is that too much information is, well, too much information. I told him that when he gets older and we've done more school that we will order a special frog, a real one, that will be dead and in a plastic bag like I put the strawberries and chickens in and that we will get it out of the bag and cut it up and see all of it's guts and muscles and stuff. Next morning I was greeted with 'more school cold frog cut cut cut', oh that's my boy!

Cold Frog...

...cold frog, who doesn't want this stuffed shiny frog to be cold, I mean really. We still haven't quite figured out what the point of all this is, or why he decided to go on this decidedly weird bent for cold frogs, but he does ask for it later...

Frog...

John has given every single stuffed animal in the house to the dog. The only remaining specimen would be a frog that is stuffed with some kind of pellets that makes it rather heavy. Since watching The Princess and the Frog, he has been much enamored with this shiny little frog. Wonder what all the frog affection is leading up too...

Train to Nowhere

The train is pretend but the curiosity and enjoyment of it certainly aren't.

Dad Too!

Just because you find a swing your size doesn't mean you don't like for dad to swing you too!

Short Swings

This is the very first swing that we have come across that was low enough to the ground that John can touch his feet to the ground. He enjoyed pushing himself some and then I pushed him, I was surprised at just how high he liked to be pushed and how long he held on. We're slowly working on teaching him to swing by himself, that's a lot of coordination so it will take him some time, but by the end of summer he will probably be a champ swinger!

Protector!

Lately we've been taking walks to the park in the cool of the evening, John gets to walk Mellon and they both seem to enjoy it, enough so that I had to have them stop so that I could get their pic as they kept getting to close to me too fast ;) As you can tell even though it is our intention that Mellon be John's protector at some point in time, the current protector of both of the them is never far behind!
