Mission: Free the Frog

The object of Jackson's affection and teething pal:



We have discovered in the past couple of months just how attached that Jackson is to his frog and that he uses him as a teether. For a considerable period of time in the fall, the boys were obsessed with turkey meatballs and Michael would always complain that the house and the boys ALWAYS smelled like them.

Also, we finally realized that Jackson was using his frog blanket as a teether and that was why his frog smelled so bad. So, I can only assume that the odor we were smelling was the meatball that was on his frog. Yuck!!

The boys are not allowed to take their lovies (frog and penguin) out of the house and we prefer not to let them take them out of their bedroom but sometimes, this is not an option. Jackson has made it clear that he can not just let his frog sit in the crib while he was waiting for either his or Connor's diaper or clothes changes.

Some insight into the love that a boy has for his frog:



He will cry if he can't reach him and gets so excited when he finally gets his hand on him. Jackson gets this tense shaking head and face with the cute lips which is his "i'm excited" face. Anybody that sees it for the first time laughs because it kind of looks like he is having a seizure. He obviously isn't but it is super funny to see and we know how happy that he is.
