Hansel and Gretel

Yesterday Anna and I went to Matt's work because I was going to be going to class that night and he was going to be watching her for the evening. When we got there, Anna wanted to "talk" and see all of his co-workers. While in the main office, Anna noticed a cardboard cutout of a frog (Matt's company's logo) and was immediately taken with frog. She began talking to him animatedly and pointing. Another one of Matt's co-workers noticed her enthusiasm over the frog and told us he had something to show her. So, we followed him to his office and he had tanks (picture what you'd keep a beta fish in) full of African Dward frogs. Anna was in heaven! Her favorite thing in the whole world is aquariums. So, she immediately began to converse with the live frogs. The gentleman who had all the frogs was so sweet and gave Anna her very own tank with two frogs in them. She was so happy! She was not so excited to later find out that she would not be able to ride home with the frogs on her lap though. :) We have had to teach her that she can not "hold" the frog friends but she can look at them through the tank and watch them play! :)

Below you can see her the first morning of being a proud "Pet Owner" of her frogs Hansel and Gretel.
