The Owie Story (and now Rhys too)

One of Rhys' favorite books is about a little pig named Owyn and his Mama. Owyn is going to school and his Mama won't be there with him. But she loves him when they are together and she loves him when they are apart. "That means you love me all day long". I love you all day long is the name of the book.

Owyn has a "toy" frog in the book. He takes it with him everywhere. Toy is quoted because it is unclear the toy's actual status. The artwork clearly shows the frog eating, emoting and moving. It is equally clearly a toy frog.

Rhys is convinced that the book is about his brother and his Mama. He was fine with this for a long time. Recently, however, it began to bother him that there was no Rhys in the book. He decided that the frog is Rhys. So now the book is about Owie and Mama and Rhys.
