Frick and Frack


Mom and I recently had the luck of meeting a new little friend and his mom that live in our neighborhood. His name is Carter and he is only about 3-4 months older than I am . We have lots of fun together every chance we get. Notice that this blog entry is entitled "Frick and Frack". My mom recently said that Carter and I we were just a little version of Frick and Frack and I had absolutely no idea where she got that phrase from...where does she come up with these things anyway? FYI - for all you trivia buffs know out there, please know that Frick and Frack were a set of Swiss ice skaters that performed as a comedy duo and were known for their amazing tricks and they skated in the Ice Follies for many years. Now "Frick and Frack" is a commonly used English slang term used to refer to two people so closely associated as to be indistinguishable (this is per Wikipedia and, yes, mom helped me with looking this up). Well, I am not sure we are indistinguishable on the outside (other than we are both Peanut-sized), but personality wise we absolutely seem to share a lot of the same traits. We definitely would fit the definition as a COMEDY DUO as my mom and Carter's mom seem to get a lot of amusement from watching us play together. We have lots of fun and as the play date or evening passes, we have been consistently known to start jumping, running, chasing and hiding on and in anything and everything together. Last time we were together, Carter tried to wrestle with me and got me into sort of a mini-headlock. I had never wrestled like this before, but I sure did find it fun and now I have all sorts of moves to bust out next time we play or to save up for my little brother.

See the attached pictures of me and my new little friend. The first is a picture of us sitting and watching Thomas the Train together. I am not sure what was happening in this particular scene, but it must have been very interesting or scary to keep us both in our seat. The second picture is of us playing in some pillows while our parents were "trying" to have some dinner.
