Mr Frog Visits the Fire Station

Nicky likes to share his "babies" with Momma and Daddy.  Daddy usually gets "Mr Frog", which we love because Mr Frog is the guy we took to Russia on all our trips to see Nicky at the orphanage, and was his first daily companion.  The other night, Nicky gave Mr Frog to Kris and told him to take him to the fire station with him the next day.  Kris, being a good daddy, obliged and even took pictures of Mr Frog enjoying his day at the "boys club" (aka the fire station).  Here he is on the ambulance... 

And hitching a ride on the fire engine...

When I picked Nicky up from school, I told him that Daddy had taken Mr Frog to work with him as he had asked.  Only problem was, Nicky didn't remember that conversation! :(  He asked me "daddy bring him back to me?"  I assured him that yes, Mr Frog would return in the morning and showed him the pictures of Mr Frog above.  This he was super excited about and wanted to know if we could go and visit him right then and there.  Then he became very concerned that Mr Frog would be dirty upon his return and I had to promise to give him a bath...that's one silly Russky!

Mr Frog, to this day, is Daddy's faithful companion at home, as Ellie Nellie is mine.  Nicky will even tuck them in our arm just so while we sit and watch tv and will rearrange them if we happen to move an inch!
