LIFE!

Last night an 11 week series started on Discovery, called Life.  LOVED IT!  I don't even think you need to be into nature shows like I am to appreciate it.  The cinematography alone is worth the watch.  Oprah is the narrator and has a Morgan Freamanesq delivery. 

There was one quote of many last night about parenting which I loved: "The soul of parenting is the capacity for sacrifice". 

Makes you want to suck up sacrifice that much more when put like that, doesn't it.

 A tree frog in the Costa Rican jungle lays her tadpole eggs under the ground. Once the eggs hatch she feels it's no longer safe for her babies, so she moves each of them (five), one by one on her back up a 100ft tree (shes the size of a finger nail) to grow in each of their very own personal pinapple plant.  If she puts the babies together, they will eat each other.  So five times up and down this huge tree and under the ground she carts her little babies around. If that's not enough, she now has to feed all five babies, so every few days for two months she lays unfertilized eggs into the pool of water (the tadpole is living in, in the pinapple plant) until the tadpoles become frogs and can hop away to repeat the cycle.

I bet she doesn't complain about sleep.

P.S Where is the daddy!
