Tadpoles

Nana and Caden love spending time together outside at their house. Mom was mowing one day and she saw some baby tadpoles. So, she asked me how I would feel if she let Caden catch some tadpoles and take them home as pets. I was totally up for it, and he was excited! So, mom and Caden took the afternoon and went to the pond in search for tadpoles. Of course they found some, and Caden was so excited! They took a big bucket and filled it with about 20 or so tadpoles and then put them into a smaller bucket for us to take home. I couldn't believe that the boy who didn't want to touch a worm was totally into touching the squirming tadpoles! He is growing so fast and now loves to be touching all kinds of creatures...kind of makes me nervous! The next day I took Caden to the pet store to buy some tadpole food and he fed them every night! He really enjoyed them until the water really started to smell. Then, not only was Caden done with them, but momma and daddy were too! So, a week later we let them go back into the pond! They all were still alive, so we did a great job taking care of them while we had them. Hopefully we will be able to see them next year all grown up!

Momma...look at what we have!
