Papa, Poppy, Froggy, Friends...


E listens intently to the Little Man tell an early morning story


E has learned (the hard way;) the fine art of defensive playing....

Fortunately for P, Papa adds some spice to the Little Man's hibernatory vibe. He is an amazing playmate and Froggy is, well, learning how to be a good playmate. Because the frog, as mentioned before, is a bit of a fuck. So the Little Man has taken it upon himself to help Froggy figure out the ways of world and score some social skills... through setting an exemplary example (he announced this lightbulb one day:) Its comical to watch. P tries to keep his cool, to explain things with patience, but the frog is difficult. E's had a couple of chats with P to determine the acceptable ornery-ness level of the frog. If Froggy is too nice, P starts stuff. If the frog is too argumentative or aggressive, P can become overly-exasperated, slamming doors and stomping off in a huff. But the Little Man's been clear that he wants to be a little exasperated. He wants Froggy to be a little ornery. A little argumentative. Apparently, P likes the challenge. Here's a video of them chatting. Froggy is, I must admit, on his bestest behavior here... (If you want to see it in a larger window, check it out on youtube)
