Say Bye-Bye to Baby Duck

There's a new kid in town, and his name is Little Toad. We've found several of these cute little Fowler's toads in our yard recently, and Liam is quite taken with them:



Liam identifies with small animals (that's what you get growing up with lots of pets, I guess), and much of his imaginary play is about him pretending to be various critters. Accordingly, when I called him Baby Duck yesterday, he told me in no uncertain terms, "I'm not! Not Liam. Not Baby Duck! I'm Little Toad."

Fortunately Little Toad is not terrified of Casey, who has pushed several of the real toads to near cardiac arrest by sniffing them.
