The frogs went over much better than the bunny.
Our library was hosting a special program on frogs, where they brought in a specialist who calls herself "The Frog Lady". Marin really likes the frog character in one of her daily "must read" books, so I signed us up. We got to hear and learn all about frogs and see lots of pictures of different colored frogs- Marin shouted, "Mommy, it's blue!" and then at the end we got to look at tons of real frogs up close. Marin was fascinated. She got right up close in a complete mob of big kids and it didn't bother her one bit. She watched the frogs jump and hop in their little boxes, with her nose just about touching the little cage.
The next day we went with Grandma to meet the Easter Bunny at a fundraiser for her school. We got all dressed up in our Easter dress, talked a big game about meeting the bunny, and then decided we preferred him from about 5 feet away. I wasn't shocked, because this is pretty much how we feel about Santa. Marin did end up 
having her picture taken with the bunny, but I had to stand with her, so I don't have any pictures of that. If we get one back from the photographer there that day, I'll post it then. Marin had a blast the rest of the time- playing with the other children, and reading books in one of their chairs. Maybe the bunny will be a hit next year?
