Frogs--EEK!!

So who knew that one day your childs beloved night time pal could become the cause of such chaos all because of a small piece of thread!

AJ has a small sock frog that he has grown to love, they share a crib. Each night it has become routine to list all the facial parts (eye, other eye, mouth, nose, ear, other ear) of this little frog before calming down and calling it a night. Amidst our list 3 nights ago, froggies right eye came loose-mind you its literally a piece of thick thread (or yarn maybe) notted at the end to make an eye-in an effort to not lose this piece, I pulled on it and put it aside for Dr Mommy to fix the eye later.

AJ literally started FREAKING OUT. Crying hysterically, squirming all around and shaking. I truly thought that the poor child was simply devistated that his little froggie was not "broken"; so I continued shoving the frog in his face making funny noises and trying to be silly to show him the frog is really still ok. This only made matters worse, WAY WORSE. AJ then started saying "no" repeatedly and turning away. It was then that I realized he was PETRIFIED of this one eyed psyclopse that used to be his cuddly friend. He wanted froggie no where near him.

Thankfully after removing the frog from his room it only took 2 hours to calm him down enough to go to sleep for the night.

Over the past 3 days now we have had many encounters with other frogs, you would be amazed at how many cartoons and story books feature a cute little froggie of their own, all ending with AJ shaking, crying and saying no in this quivery little voice.

Now for the bomb shell... AJ has a frog costume for halloween! How fun do you think it will be to get the poor little guy in that thing tomorrow evening! I will let you know....

Introductions

I have finally joined the world of blogging! Yay!! It reminds me of an old 80's trend-everyone is doing it, so why not try it out myself. Now if I can only be as interesting as the other blogs I read daily!

Alright, back on track. I am the mommy of 2 wonderful little boys, BA 3 and AJ 2 (almost). They certainly keep me busy and on my toes at all times. Pops and I had the bright idea that it would be "fun" to have our kids close together-haha, fun is an understatement. Life has certainly been crazy for the past 2 years, but I wouldnt change it for the world.

Stay tuned for more fun..
