Mr. Toad Mr. Toad

Richard and Tucker found a toad in our front yard one evening. This was exciting stuff for Tucker! He immediately ran inside the house exclaiming, "There's a toad at our house, there's a toad at our house!" I watched as he frantically looked all over the house in search of something...his bug catcher. He just had to find that bug catcher so he could catch that toad! I convinced him that Mr. Toad was probably too big for his bug catcher, so we settled on a shoe box instead. Let me tell you, Tucker had no reservations about trying to scoop the toad into the shoe box. I'm sure he would have grabbed him with his hands, had Mommy let him! We let Mr. Toad go after a few minutes of Tucker looking at him through a hole in the box. He named him Mr. Toad Mr. Toad. He was so proud to tell his neighbor friends about Mr. Toad Mr. Toad the following day at our play date!

Tuck scooped him up!
