Okay..so, at 3 am this morning I wasn't exactly thrilled to find a slimy,little, green friend on the floor IN MY HOUSE....however, it sure did thrill Britton!!! As a matter of fact, when I told him that I had a "surprise" for him that was a part of the amphibian family, he nearly knocked me over while running into the kitchen to meet him. I won't begin to bore you with the silly details involving his capture (Although I am sure if someone would have filmed me barefooted jumping around in my pj's, I would have won a million bucks! Darn, why didn't I wake up the neighbors?). Britton was uber stoked to find this tree frog still in the rubbermaid container on the counter(that I topped with two china bowls to keep him from jumping out).
Thank goodness I was able to convince him to set him free so that he could be with "his friends in nature" (that was an interesting debate- I assure you). When Britton released him in the front yard, the poor thing's back legs were so tangled up in my hairs (must have been hopping around in the bathroom) that he couldn't jump. So, of course, Britton immediately began to untangle him and helped him "go home". It was the sweetest sight seeing Britton releasing the frog!! (and a relief that he didn't fight me to make him brothers with Herman, our turtle.
As we were driving to school, we talked about what a great and special thing that Britton had done, and I asked Britton if he had named the frog. In his ever-so-hilarious way, he replied "Of course I did Mommy, his name is Hairball and I hope he's there when we get home today!!" CRACK ME UP!!
I hope you have a great day, "Hairball"!!
