...and now found

We had a quiet morning at home, Dennis and I, and while we were playing in his room, I just had to check his playhouse again to see if Froggy had materialized or beamed in from somewhere. The only things in his playhouse were his broom, baby couch, and his tiger backpack. Wait a minute... His tiger backpack. Zipped closed. Surely we checked that last night. Doesn't feel heavy, but I'm unzipping it just to see... YES! There in the bottom, curled all up--it's Froggy! I ran out to show Dennis, who looked bored and said "yeah, it's Froggy". He didn't take him from me. I wonder if he'll ask for him later.

He put an entire 20 piece puzzle together by himself tonight. When he finished, he stood up and said "Woo hoo! Where's Gran? I show her puzzle." So we had to go out and find Gran, and he said "come on, Gran, I have a surprise for you!". She asked him what it was and he said "a puzzle! come see!". We made the necessary Big Deal out of it, with much praise and clapping. He's thrilled. And I'm thrilled! I'm going out tomorrow to buy two more, especially if it's something he can actually sit still to do!
