Those of you who know Connor can picture him saying to Lauren "Ca I hol it, ca I hol it, ca I hol it?" over and over again until she handed it over. They found the toad at Grandma's house and brought it over in an old butterfly habitat. Lauren LOVED it and named it Hopper. Lauren and Connor spent the afternoon pretending to be frogs as they chased Hopper all over the grass. Eventually Carrie convinced them to leave him there so he could explore while they came in for a snack. "Run, frog! Run!," I thought, "Run for your life!!" It did, but only to turn up the very next day in our sand box where Connor was delighted to find him.
Those of you who know Lauren, know that she is ALWAYS looking for a prince, even at four years old. Maybe she thought Hopper was her knight in shining armor? I just think it is cool that my little girl isn't afraid to pick up a toad (right uncle Tim?). Where is Hopper now? Supposedly living in our fountain somewhere with the two lizards that were captured and then escaped the next day.
We had our first visit from the TOOTHFAIRY a couple of nights ago! Thomas Scott lost is right/center bottom baby tooth as he was brushing his teeth before bed. He was so excited it took him an extra hour to fall asleep. He said he couldn't wait to put his name on the chart at school "right on top of Will Daly's name"!
Ronan was tolerating Lauren's manipulation a little better than Claire. It looks like he actually liked being put on the pillow and covered with her dolls' blanket. These playgyms are great for babies, but can be down right dangerous when the older kids decide that they can be used as flying saucers etc. Connor like to get under them with the babies and poor Claire and Ronan have taken more than a couple knees to the head.
Hooray for SMILES!! 
Tummy time is very limited around here. Half the time it is just not safe to have them on the floor at all and half the time they have just eaten and barf all over the mat when I put them on their tummies. Hope they still learn to roll over and lift their heads eventually. :)
