  8. Whenever the 3.5 yr old toggles the fellow insane toddler in the 2 middle kids — screaming, racing, crashing, thumping and knocking frames off the walls x 3 — I will come back to this photo and think, “Things could be worse!” How amusing it is! ❤

  12. I’ve seen quail do this but not actually walking, just kind of standing there brooding the chicks. They have found amazing ways of solving ordinary problems. I’ve never seen one of these jacanas but they have interesting design.
