Sunday, May 15: Weekend Update

The other day we talked about how some babies are born looking like itty bitty versions of their parents, such as humans and kittens. We also talked about babies that are born looking nothing like their parents, such as butterflies (who start off as caterpillars) and frogs (who start off as tadpoles).

We also talked about how some babies are born looking generally like their parents, but something is different, such as their colouring. Remember the story: The Ugly Duckling?

These geese with their four goslings stopped me in my tracks yesterday while I was running in Bayfront Park. What a perfect example. The babies look like little birds, but they won't have their distinctive goose markings until they are full grown.
