The day before his birthday Camden found a cute little frog and of course brought him home to keep. He played with the poor little guy until bedtime, then placed him securely in a bucket with grass to keep him safe so he take him to school the next day.
The following morning I woke Camden and told him to get up and get ready for school. I was getting myself ready and all of a sudden I heard him screaming "OH NO"!!!! I instantly realized we had a problem: THE FROG IS DEAD AND TODAY IS CAMDEN'S BIRTHDAY! Not good.
Needless to say, Camden was extremely upset. He wrapped himself in his blanket and laid on bed crying; the type of crying where he could barely breath. He wasn't sad just for the fact that the frog he loved was dead, but also that he chose not to listen to his Dad when he told him to make sure he put water in the bucket.
I had to think of plan B: LEGO'S!!!! Cousin Mitchell helped make this massive ship! The other kids loved it and so did the principal.
Rough start to a birthday, but it turned out OK. (FYI, mourning of a frog lasts about a half hour!)
Next time we'll have Mitchell make him a Lego Frog. Doesn't need grass or water, only falls apart on occasion like the lego ship, but can be put back together in a pinch! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMDEN!
