Say Hello to My Little Friend

We've heard lots of stories about Anna picking up little tree frogs when they play outside at her school, so I guess we weren't too surprised tonight when she found a new little "friend" in the backyard.

Meet "Isabella" (yes, apparently it's a girl). . .


Derek taught her how to hold it and made sure she didn't squeeze too tight. He even let it bite him to show her that it doesn't hurt.


After she let Isabella go, she came inside where I was cooking dinner and cried because she wanted her "friend to come back." Oh yeah. So she's tough enough to hold and pet a lizard, but she's girl enough to cry when it's time to say goodbye :)

Best of both worlds. Man, I love that little girl!
