Benben and his frog

For the last couple of weeks Benjamin has been very good at kicking the butterfly that hangs from the middle of the arches over his playmat. (The butterfly plays music every time it moves. ) But having no biceps to speak of, he had trouble moving his arms. They mostly waved wildly or came up only a couple inches from the mat.

Well, as of this week, the frog that hangs from one of the arches is no longer safe. Benjamin can reach up and grab it by its funky collar (a collar that makes crinkle sounds) and pull it towards his mouth to nibble on its toes. This is done with some grunting and lots of ... muttering?

I am amazed by how suddenly he seems to be able to use his hands and arms.

The better to get things in his mouth!
