Today was my niece Elizabeth's 3rd birthday. A princess like Elizabeth always has her best friends over for a birthday party.

My sister caught a young toad and handed it to me while I was taking pictures of the girls playing.

Hello there young toad!

Elizabeth (L) and Georgia (R) were pretty curious about young Mr. Toad.

Can I touch it?

I suggested that Elizabeth and Georgia kiss the toad and see if it turned into a Prince for them.

You want me to do what?!?

Georgia didn't like the idea of kissing Mr. Toad. In fact, just touching him seemed to be a struggle.

But Elizabeth wanted her prince, now matter what the cost!

Better give it another try, maybe one kiss isn't enough!

Maybe another kiss will work

After Mr. Toad did not turn into a prince, even with a few kisses, Elizabeth turned to me and stated "It's not working!"

I love it, Melody. The toad looks pertty lackadaisical about the whole business, and your niece is a little beauty. A heart-breaker in the making. :wink:
