Well, Sheba, our toad, is back. The toad from last fall hibernated in our window well over the winter and reappeared this spring. Wyatt has been having fun 'taking care of' him, feeding him grasshoppers (live and canned from Pet Smart), filling his water bowl, and today deciding not to close the window after some friendly play chasing him around the window well. After returning from some errands, I notice the open window and no toad in sight. And so the search and recovery efforts commenced (which if you remember all of the toys in our basement proved to be a rather daunting task). Georgia, Wyatt, & I searched under furniture, checked corners, overturned baskets, baskets, and more baskets of toys.....checked over blankets, books, train sets, play kitchens, the works. Then, heading upstairs, and about to throw in the towel, a small shadow caught my eye coming from the bathroom...Sheba. I grabbed a container for Wyatt and sent him in, "don't come out without a TOAD!" A little game of cat and mouse ensued, but in no time flat Wyatt emerged with Sheba in hand.
