While they were at the Reptile Expo, Grandma and Aunt Annie came to set up Gavin’s Birthday present. Aunt Annie got him to Fire Belly Toads…aka “frogs”. I was a little overwhelmed when she was setting it all up. We originally planned to get him a turtle because I thought it would be easy. However, after research, I found out that they are not good pets for children under 5 and carry lots of diseases. Now that we have the frogs and have done some research, I realize it won’t be that bad after all.
I couldn’t wait to see Gavin’s reaction. At first, he was in shock and didn’t say much. When he realized that he got to keep them, he got more and more excited. Macie was even pumped. They absolutely love the frogs and can’t get enough of them. Macie and I helped Gavin named them. He named the bigger one “Froggy” (his favorite stuffed frog is named Froggy) and the smaller one “Max” (his favorite show is Max and Ruby). The frogs hung out on the kitchen table for the first day or so until we gave them a more permanent home.
Froggy is on the bottom and Max is above him in this picture.
