I learned a lot from this video.
The spirals on their tummies are their intestines. Why didn’t I think of that?
They like fish food, so I guess I’ll get them some of that.
His tadpoles look like ours, so I guess that ours will become Red Frogs, too.
Okay, I couldn’t resist putting this song on my blog when I’m talking about Tadpoles turning into Frogs.
I have lots of posts about Caterpillars turning into Butterflies from the last two years, and now we have tadpoles, so I simply must post the song “Bullfrogs and Butterflies”.
I love that song. I learned it when I was doing puppets at church a long, long time ago, and I still love the song.
It’s such a perfect fit for what I’m trying to teach my children about Metamorphosis…
Well, here it is:
I took a few pictures today, but there’s nothing really new to report. At least three of the tadpoles have back legs growing, but a couple of them don’t even have leg nubs yet.
I’m figuring out how to set up another aquarium that has land and water together. We will have to get a tall structure or some big rocks and have an area of shallow water in the same place. I don’t want any of them to drown as they change to breathing with lungs!
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
