Ying and Yang

This little Patrick and Jackson are just so different in so many ways. It is funny that it even surprises us anymore. Tonight, we were outside enjoying the beautiful weather and Dominic found this HUGE toad. Luke chased it for a while and finally caught it with two little buckets (all the while, I'm screaming and flinching).

Dominic wasn't crazy about picking the little amphibian up. Jackson may have whimpered a bit when it came near. But Patrick on the other hand...

First a little timid...

Then chasing it...

Then petting/pokeing it...

And, finally, picking it up by its head and throwing it back into the sand.

Hi.lar.i.ous.

I laughed forever after watching him do this over and over again (yeah....sorry PETA, but really, he doesn't throw very hard). When we let the poor thing go, it was breathing so hard, I'm hopeful it survived. Luke assured me it was fine. He is an expert on all things toad, after all.
