Okay, when we left the house it wasn't snowing too bad. When we finally got to diving we were in a blizzard! We have rarely had any snow this winter. Crocs are the easiest thing to wear to diving. Boy was Stockton cold walking to and from the pool. The pool is by the Huntsman Center at the U. It's not too far from the parking lot, but when you are wearing crocs and there is a couple of inches of snow on the ground . . . . oh boy.
Jorja had a really hard day today. Her frog Pads died. She fed him crickets and changed his water last night. He looked fine. (Usually when her frogs have died, you could tell they were getting sick. Pads looked as healthy as could be.) Jorja checked on him in the morning - fine. I took Maysen and Stockton to school. When I got back I could hear Jorja screaming. That scream could only mean one thing. Poor little girl. We have got to figure out what we are doing wrong. I think the main thing is touching them. She LOVES to hold her frogs. She has been really good at washing her hands before (without soap) and after (with soap) touching them. She has also tried not to hold them as much as she did before. It just is really hard for her! Anyway, I volunteered in her class today. She was very sad and started crying. Then she was embarrassed that she was crying. So, I took her out to lunch. It was nice to be with her and help her get her mind off her frogs. Luckily she had a packed day today. Achievement days, piano lessons and book club. I love that little Porge!
