Tara,
I think I told you, after reading the book at Susan's house, Susan was so adamant about "feeling the urge" that she just had to make this book for you and didn't know why. I smiled and explained how Lauren uses "willing" people to help her mother when she needs a pick me up. I explained that I thought that was what this urge was. When I was leaving, I just smiled and said- "you do know that we will both receive frogs today to confirm this?" She just laughed and I left. She called me around noon to tell me that she noticed on the channel that was left on the TV that it was a cartoon full of frogs jumping on lily pads. She couldn't believe! It came as no shock to me- So I go to work.....Walking down the isle, I get a frog- in the form of a pillow pet. I quickly dismiss it as coincidence b/c I'm at Wal-Mart, they sell pillow pets, and they come in frog animals- what's the big sign in that. ( I'm so hard-headed. ) So I got home late and go to draw my bath after 9. I reach in the tub and there are not only one, but 5 frogs (toys) in the tub that I either have to remove or just bath with floating around me. Still- I dismiss and say- big deal- These are Cy's toys- what's so abnormal about seeing them. By this time, I can only imagine how stubborn she thinks I am and how frustrated she is for me making her work so hard to get through to my hard head. WELL- next morning I'm trying to dress Cy. He gets away from me and gets down on all fours and hops like a frog across my bathroom floor saying "Ribbit, Ribbit" all the way across. (He has never done this that I can recall) I busted out laughing and said- Ok- you can stop- I get it!
She amazes me!
