Nathan captured this large toad last night before bed. He placed "Jim Bob" in the water meter box to provide him with a comfortable, safe shelter. Nathan jumped out of bed this morning and ran outside to see if his toad was alive and well. Sure enough, Jim Bob was just as plump and bumpy as the night before. Nathan brought him into the house (I'm getting used to this), put him into the temporary toad home and once again left for school with a live amphibian in his backpack. I'm hoping to get through the day without a phone call from his teacher.
This nurturing toddler is busy taking care of her baby today. Completely on her own, Caroline designed this little nursery. Notice the small blanket on the baby and the vase of flowers next to the bed. She instinctively knows that a baby's room must be pretty! What a good mama to also include in the nursery a toy and stroller for her tiny one.

These stories and photos just make me happy. Is there anything better than children just being children and a mother who allows them to explore their interests and encourages their creativity. Thank you for the darling blog entry!
I think Jim Bob is a perfect name for a toad! Thank heaven for good teachers :)
How powerful an example is.
