James Turns 3.... AGAIN

It's like a surprise birthday party that never ends. Our neighbors, Peter & Pilar gave James a frog, a tadpole and a habitat for them to live in back in June. For some reason, the frog and tadpole didn't arrive until this week. Surprise!

The frog needs a small mountain of rocks to rest on - surprise!
The tadpole needs fish food - surprise!
The tadpole will eat the frog if he gets too big - surprise!

We made the rookie mistake of letting James name the frog and tadpole. Here's how that went:
Us: What do you want to name the frog and tadpole?
James: Hmmmmm. Cozy and Wolksy.
Us (immediately realizing our error): Hmmmm. Don't you think Teddy is a good name for a tadpole?
James: Yeah.
Us: And how about Freddy for the frog?
James. OK.
(5 minutes later)
Us: So, what is the name of the tadpole?
James: Cozy. And the frog is Wolksy.

Here we are releasing Cozy and Wolksy into their new habitat:


James thinks Cozy & Wolksy like to hear music.
Here he is serenading them with neighbor Peter:


Just an update because I know you care: today Cozy grew two arms!
Must have been the music.

Are you trying to keep the guests away by putting slimy reptiles that might eat each other in the guest room? :)
