It was a special day for Itchy Frog. He went to school with Bea and hung out in her cubby, being all frog-like and itchy.
He went to dinner at Mad Mex, where he ate a soft taco, carrot sticks and dip, and chocolate cake (as evidenced by three new splotches on his face that are still there despite the vigorous wiping Bea gave him), all while cutting quite the rug to the hip-hop soundtrack.
For the record, frogs look funny when they dance.
But the best was yet to come. At bedtime, Itchy Frog got his very own (very feminine) pajamas. They fit him perfectly... much better than the munkin and mon-sker jammies Bea was trying to put on him.
The kid was insistent that Itchy Frog wear jammies, and wouldn't put on hers until he had his. And of course, last night was the night that she decided to get really freaking frustrated when her jammies were too big for the frog and his little dangly arms (legs?) wouldn't go all the way through the sleeves.
And as everyone knows, when the kid is frustrated, the mama is frustrated. Especially when it's 8:30 and it's way past bedtime and there is wailing and gnashing of teeth over the ridiculous pajama situation.
So I did what any mom would do: I stripped the baby doll and put her jammies on the frog. (What? You would TOTALLY do that, too.)
Now we have one nekkid baby doll, but one warm and snug Itchy Frog.
I hope you continue to regale us with stories of Itchy. I am brought back to the days when I looked forward to the daily Pinchy update...

Awwww!
Jamie's like that with his stuffed George - who isn't technically Curious George and who came home from Walgreens one random day. Liam had a stuffed tiger named Hobbes.
But the penguin Liam built for Jamie at Build-A-Bear while I was pregnant? Lives in the the closet.
Bea is adorable!
