| Up went the shade umbrella and into the light hole went our resident toad. |
 |
| After a while he got pretty bored. |
 |
| We had finished creating the picnic and I leaned over to offer the plate to granddaughter. |
 |
| As my head leaned closer, Toad got very brave and made his giant leap for escape. |
 |
| Notice I did not photo-shop my wrinkles! |
 |
| Because I was giggling as I caught the toad she was in wonder. |
 |
| And thus the Princess made a new friend. |
That's just adorable. I'm glad you had photos of the event.. and toad us all about it. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is some pretty quick camera work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome concluding sentence! You really caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! The world is less scary when you make friends with the small creatures.
ReplyDeleteI do admit I would have been freaked out by a toad in my hair! I don't know that I could have said I would hold still while you take my picture. But I'm glad you could.
ReplyDeleteLove this post...
ReplyDeleteDon't you know you'll get warts from holding a toad? Now you might get them on your head.

ReplyDeleteI love this post. The Princess (which she obviously is) and the toad is a wonderful photo.
ReplyDeletehow amazing that the toad leaped onto you instead of away from you.
ReplyDeleteLovely story in the pictures, no problem for the Toad.
ReplyDeleteha. that is so cool...my son and i spent time catching little dime sized frogs over vacation....we gathered a group of about 5 and then let them go by the pond....
ReplyDeleteNice story about your beautiful granddaughter. Nice that you introduced her to your amphibian friend in such a gentle way. Your filled dinner plate looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Glad she found such a harmless n friendly critter to enjoy. I used to always catch those when young-
ReplyDeleteLove the playdough food!
Very nice capture. I have a few tree toads that stay close to my porch.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful! Well done you! I love it when a child can put aside fears and begin to let themselves be curious and free in the world.
ReplyDeleteWhen I taught my daughter that worms were wonderful and helpful and she overcame her fear I was so proud. She had previously been very freaked out and after I told her how wonderful they are she bravely picked them out of the dirt and carried them to their new home in my garden. Love that!
I love all of it, the play-doh picnic, the toad, and the sweetness of the whole thing. Thank you for sharing it with us!
