Little Frog and R

R absolutely adores her cousin Little Frog. She talks about her all the time--several times a week she asks if she can go to Little Frog's house or maybe Little Frog is going to be at Grammie and Grampie's house and can she go there?

She's frequently very optimistic: "Little Frog can stay at Grammie and Grampie's house for FIVE DAYS!" she will tell us, very emphatically with several nods of her head. We tell her that maybe sometime Little Frog will stay at Grammie and Grampie's, but that she's not there right now.

Little Frog did come down to visit last month, though, and while R and I were reading Alice in Wonderland last night before bed, R tells me, "Little Frog and I went to Alice's house!" They did, indeed. At the Philadelphia children's museum, called the Please Touch Museum, there is a replica of Alice's house and various scenes from Alice in Wonderland that R and Little Frog absolutely loved playing in.

First, they took the sweets that said "Eat Me" and were too big for the house
here you can see Alice and Grammie joining them in the house (apparently Little Frog pulled Grammie in and insisted she come in, too).
Then they tried the bottle that said "Drink Me" and were too small for the house. R dressed as Alice and Little Frog was one of the playing cards.
Then they had tea with the Mad Hatter and the March Hare
And took a ride on the Dodo Bird!
