This is what happens when a cute little frog who looked like an excellent jumper (apparently these are hard to find) crossed our path as we were leaving the library on our weekly trip.  Usually I am peeling children out their new books so they can do important things like oh, I don’t know… eating, bathing, evening chores and sleeping, but as soon as we got home it was all about their new captive “member of the family”.

We did not even go straight home from the library since I like to save on our gas usage and bundle errands into the same day.  This little frog went with us to Publix and our other errands before coming home to this little aquarium.  Much research was done the next day about the lives of frogs, their habitat, diet and the different species that live in Florida.

As a mom, I pray that Our Lord help me to see this little frog as excitedly as I saw the first one my first born showed me.  I expect to keep saying this prayer for many many more years. Thank you Lord for the precious look of curiosity on this little boys face.
