A Toad or a Prince

How long does it take for a toad to actually turn into a prince? I’ve been waiting and waiting and being extremely patient as I long for this toad to turn into a handsome prince sooner than later.

You may think I am being a little harsh and not giving my husband any credit, but this actually has nothing to do with my husband. :) We have an actual real live toad living in our house. That’s right- I said it. There is a toad living in my sons room. He only croaks when Cooper is sleeping during the evening or during his precious naps. For some odd reason he enjoys being quiet all day long when the noise is thrashing through our house and begin croaking more loudly when Cooper decides to calm down for the day.

I must say I believe he hibernates a bit; croaking more softly and doing less leaping when we had our big snow storm or when the weather decides to be extreme as it has lately. He follows the typical patterns of a toad but will not change his scenery, he plops himself down directly below my sons room allowing for an intense, loud, obnoxious croak. I believe he is in the crawl space but I must say he is extremely loud, I have questioned MANY times if he resides in his room itself. Every time I sneak around tiptoeing very quietly he immediately stops croaking when I open the door wide enough to walk in…so bazaar. It’s almost as if he sees me or the light begin to enter the room that he decides to shut up.

I had to take a video because I was almost 100% positive my husband may think I’ve lost my marbles and gone crazy. Check it out: (video will post soon)

When oh when will he turn into a prince? I long for this day but how can it be so when he sits in one lonely spot all by himself day in and day out; he’ll never find his princess. :(

Maybe I should embrace his loud lonesome croaking as he seems to think we must enjoy it. I’m not quite there yet, but maybe one day, as time passes by, he and I will be friends.

Stay tuned…..
