Eliot & Benjamin

Both boys like to curl up into a ball in their towels after bathtime. They play they are baby ducks waiting to hatch. It's a nightly routine now. We have to say "where is my baby duck? Where is my baby duck?" And then they hatch out dramatically. Well about 3 weeks ago, Ben's duck evolved into a catduck. He hatches out and then does this dance while saying, "quack, quack, meow, waddle, waddle" over and over. It's pretty funny. I'd video tape it and stick it on here, but since he is naked, I think there are now laws against that. So you just get the photos of the before and just hatching. Recently Eliot (who is very concerned that Ben's animal creation is a combination of a bird AND a mammal) keeps asking Ben how is a catduck born, from its mommy or from an egg. I think the latest verdict from Ben is it is born from an egg. Eliot is okay with this since there are two mammals in the world that hatch from an egg, i.e. the platypus & spiny anteater of New Guinea - thank you very much Wild Kratts.
