Ribbit....

Talent has been wanting to be outside since the weather has been nicer lately. Today we were outside playing and I found a teeny little frog about the size of a quarter. Now, I don't know if anyone knows this about me or not, but, I don't like creepy crawly things or little critters. I'm not entirely sure how I've made it this long out in the country. But, anyway, I saw this tiny little frog and I caught it. Talent has only seen frogs in books or in the little figurines that I have around the house. He's never seen the real thing. I carried this tiny frog over to him and showed it to him. He made the cutest little face. He started making his frog noise. Once the frog jumped out of my hands Talent started pointing at it and making his frog noise and asking me to get it again. I chased that frog and eventually found another. I never could catch either one of the little suckers. But, it was fun chasing frogs with him.

He's been saying so much lately. He's learned so many new animal noises and so many new words. I just love this age and all of the new things he's learning. Just this week he started saying "boat" and "rock".....I just love all of the learning he is doing. We've been doing a lot of reading at night before bed. Talent picks a bunch of books and I read to him. I point to things in the books and he says what they are. If there are animals in the books he makes the animal sounds. It's been so much fun seeing him learn. I plan on taking him to the library to some of the children's programs this summer. I think he will really enjoy it and I think it will be so good for him. I am really looking forward to seeing him learn so much more.
