Return of the frog...

Brandon surprised Sam with a frog the other day. Sam remembered Amy (the frog from last fall), but decided this was Amy's friend and to name this frog Ribbit. After making a home in a jar, Ribbit spent the night in Sam's room. The next morning Ribbit was not moving around a lot. Sam came and woke me up telling me he had hit the jar with his play hammer and Ribbit wouldn't wake up. My first thought was Ribbit was dead! We killed a frog! After a little investigation Ribbit was NOT dead, but very lethargic. Brandon and Sam let Ribbit out in the backyard so he could get some breakfast. When Sam realized Ribbit wasn't coming back this was his reaction...


P.S. Notice the wristbands?

This is by far my favorite post. At first it made me sad, but then i couldn't stop giggling. He just looks so cute. That last photo is a GREAT shot.

Love the froggy boots. The wristbands are super cool by the way too. I love it when little kids need to wear an item of clothing day and night.

Sam is so cute! Ethan has 3 pet frogs and they all sadly died in the jar, we weren't very good at feeding them. Oh you look so cute in your picture! I cant wait to see your next little baby! Sam is a doll, the next one is going to be sooo cute to!
