Elliot found this frog in the creek that runs behind his grandma's house. After playing with him for a day, he returned him safely to his natural environment. Afterwards, Elliot kept talking about the frog, wishing that he could have one for a pet.
Today, we decided to clean out our mini pond in the back. Normally we don't need to do this, but it was so full of soil that our fountain was clogged. So, we emptied it. Two exciting things were discovered. First, the fish had grown to three times their size. And second, when we were nearly at the bottom, we saw something splashing in the murky bottom.
It was a small frog, just like the one at grandma's. While I rinsed the fountain, he held the frog in his hands and said, "today I'm the luckiest boy in the world."
My G is just like that. He LOVES frogs. He cried when we left the lake last week because he wouldn't be able to look at the frogs every morning after breakfast. Your E is such a cutie.

ReplyDeleteI don't know how I came to miss this post! Aaaw, wasn't that a lovely thing that little Elliot said. A frog of his very own - heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is priceless! Your little boy will go far in life with such a deep appreciation of nature and the little creatures with whom we get to share our homes and gardens. Elliot's 'new' frog is such a good looking little chap...wish I had one just like him in my pond :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story. Kinda fun how God takes care of our big needs AND some of our small desires. Hope the frog lives a good while.
