A boy with a frog.  A <em>singing<\/em> frog.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/hizzouse\/q3-09\/frogboy2.jpg\" alt=\"Evan is...FROGBOY\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Every so often at the day care, they have a little display of storybooks and a few toys here and there that you can place orders for.  Evan has homed in on this froggy puppet for the past week &#8211; while I&#8217;m signing him in, he&#8217;s all over the frog.  A couple of days later he figured out that it makes &#8220;ribbit&#8221; and &#8220;croak&#8221; sounds!  I had a talk with the Mrs. and we decided we ought to get Evan a croaking froggy of his own.  (The froggy is also a puppet, and his odd expression in this photo is from his puzzlement about how daddy can stick his hand in the frog and suddenly it&#8217;s alive, while Evan can&#8217;t get the same results &#8211; he hasn&#8217;t quite figured out the basics of puppet operation just yet.)  As it turned out, the sale display folded early &#8211; almost nothing sold &#8211; and so instead of waiting for an ordered item to come in a week later, Evan got to bring home the froggy he&#8217;s been playing with for about a week now.  We didn&#8217;t even realize until we got home and played with the froggy that it sings &#8211; it&#8217;s ribbiting and croaking stuff like &#8220;Old McDonald Had A Farm&#8221; and &#8220;Twinkle Twinkle Little Star&#8221;.  Pretty cool, huh?  Not a bad bit of froggy action for just a few bucks.<\/p>\n<p>I think we&#8217;re all happy with our new toys around here.  \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet DadBot 500.
