Every kids has to take a tadpole or two home in their childhood and wait with baited breath for it to turn into a Frog (who may or may not be prince charming:) Sophie had the joy of spotting a trillion tadpoles in the pond that she had previously been hop, skipping and running around. The absolute delight she found in watching, poking and trying to catch these poor little mites was beautiful to watch - isn't funny how so many simple things in life we take for granted, yet for a child are just an amazing wonder of their world.
"Daddy are they nearly frogs yet?"
"When will the be frogs?"
"Can we take some home? I won't let Bella or Toby eat them, I'll keep them in my room........" There in lies the reason why we didn't take any tadpoles home! Given a chance she would have them in her room/bed with her! We have our limits you know!
PS I remember getting of the bus a stop or two before home to go "tadpoling" with a friend - did't tell mum ofcourse and got into a whole lot of trouble as she was as worried as, but kids have gotta experience tadpoles:)
