To a real mom, the portraits of Louis XIII of France, Louis XIV of France, Charles I of England, and Charles II of Spain display a baffling era when children played a heavy role in the country’s kingdom, diplomacy and bloodline preservation. Girls were forced to marry and bear children at early ages to forge a protective bond between kingdoms. These children wore heavy robes, jewels, feathered gold-rimmed crowns and amulets, to protect them from harm. I’m sure this made it tough for the miniature royalty to run around, climb cabinets for the good stuff, and catch toads.

But the pictures are sooo cute. He totally loves the toad. Not a very big fan of frogs and toads – we have lots of them come up to our driveway after an afternoon shower.

It's pretty cool -- I'll let you know when I get the post up. Beck -- that sounds awful. I'm sure it was that "squeeze" that little ones give?
