A Year with Frog and Toad was being performed at the Old Log Theatre so I thought it would be fun for Boden to go with his cousin, grandma, and uncle. I would have loved to have gone, too, since I remember the stories of Frog and Toad from my childhood and I do love the theatre, but at 4 weeks old, August is still quite unpredictable. So we stayed home and I waited for everyone to tell me about it. Boden continues to have about a 20-25 min attention threshold after which he asks when "it" will be over and starts to lose interest but he made it through and I continue to get bits of info about the play from him so he must have been paying attention. If I ask directly about it, though, he says "I don't remember" which is unbelievable because he remembers nearly everything. But, if I'm patient, he'll bring it up and say some little tidbit of memory from the play that he found amusing or boring--eventually, I'll be able to piece together the whole thing. Thank goodness my mom provided some reliable details for me.
