Madeline was very interested, but never did work up the courage to touch the Isabel Faith D*** frog. She does, however, do an excellent hopping frog impression.

Sometimes when Daddy is rocking Madeline before she goes to bed, she likes to recite a list of people who love her. "You love me, Daddy? Mommy love me. Sissy love me. Miss Kim love me. Boys love me. Nanaw love me." For awhile, she was adding "Froggie love me" to the list.
