Leni's Tadpole Story~


While our life has been anything but fun this week, I thought I'd share something funny that happened. Leni discovered a batch of tadpoles in rainwater in the deflated waterslide in our now nasty, overgrown backyard that we don't get to play in much because of the heat. She's been watching them religiously and they're doing quite well we must say. Earlier this week she picked up a few and transplanted them into a different container. Then she decided her tadpoles were dirty and needed a bath. SOOOO.....she bathed those tadpoles....in Joy diswashing liquid....then gave them bubbles to swim in because bubbles are so much fun aren't they?!! She was so proud and paraded Mom out to see her happy tadpole children...rather happy D-E-A-D tadpole children (she didn't realize the dead part) and told mom their names, how they liked to swim this way and that...etc. not once realizing they were in tiny tadpole heaven. After, Mom had to explain the ins and outs of tadpole rearing to a 5 year old who hates to see anything die....we now have a new container of tadpoles thriving in "dirty" water. And a again happy (but very asthmatic) 5 yr. old!!
