Michael the frog and various other animals

Little Michael likes animals. And he likes to pretend he is animals. This behavior is often helpful at dinner time to get him to eat. We'll put food on his fork and then tell him to pretend he's a lion. He'll roar very loud, and we stick food in his mouth while it is open. Sometimes we all pretend to be puppies and we lick the food off our plates (Right now, we're more concerned with our kids eating than teaching them table manners.)

Well last night at dinner, little Michael decided to be a frog. But apparently frogs don't eat, because he climbed down off his chair and proceeded to hop all over the dining room, saying "Ribbit, ribbit". It is fun to his little imagination at work.
