Waiting for Marley's Bus

288/365 - Froggies

Marley is here for the weekend and Froggie still comes with her whenever she sleeps overnight. Mason was also here tonight with his Froggie. Perfect opportunity to take a picture of them with their Froggies. This was the first time that Mason had seen Marley's Froggie. He liked hers quite well too.

On another note...last week Janelle bought us a car seat for our car. I decided to keep the box up for awhile thinking that Mason would like to play with it. So far, only the cats have played with it...until tonight. Marley decided she would go "camping" in it.



Camping supplies



P.S. On Saturday morning I walked into the family room to see this.....Marley reading in the box (she asked last night if she could sleep in the box but I told her no and she didn't seem too upset. I don't really think she wanted to stay downstairs by herself!)

39/365 - Froggy's coat

Marley (and Froggy) slept over Grandma's last night. Marley always hangs her coat by the back door, so it was just natural that she hung Froggy's coat there too. This morning Paul walked by the back door and said, "Is that Froggy's coat?" I said, "Yes, how did you guess?" He said, "It looks about his size."

Froggy's Lost Tag Story......

Last Sunday night we were driving home from Junior Bible Quiz when all of a sudden Marley started to cry. I mean really cry, real tears, as if something bad had just happened. "Froggy's tag came off", she said. Before I go any further, you have to understand that Marley has had a thing for Froggy since she was little. It was given to her as a present when she was born. She has always loved the cloth tag on Froggy. She does this "thing" rubbing two fingers on it. The tag, as you may imagine, had gotten very frayed, but I wasn't prepared for just how frayed! In tears she handed me the "tag", which was no more than a wide piece of string. She was still very upset when we got home and all of us tried to comfort her. She asked me if I would make a scrapbook page about this and put Froggy's "tag" on it (how cute is that?). We told her that Pama Barb (Toby's mother) would be able to put a new tag on Froggy (she has already put on two new bottoms). Kristen told her that she could even pick out the material and make sure that it was right.

The next time Marley came over, she brought Froggy to show me. Pama Barb had sewn a new tag on Froggy and all was right in the world again.
