(I wasn't actually considering sharing this... but after speaking with my niece Savanah on Boxing Day, well... this post is for you sweetheart!)
Months ago... and I am talking months ago, when Spring had just sprung, my husband and I went out for dinner with his brother and sister-in-law and their two daughters. While at the restaurant, we were given little gummy toy frogs and let me just say that one thing led to another and I just 'happened' to fling mine in the air and it stuck to the ceiling. We had our meal and I honestly thought that the little frog would soon free fall back to us again... we even prolonged our meal as LONG as possible in order for this to happen... but, it did not.
Upon our departure we were graciously given another frog.
After we arrived home I decided to demonstrate to my son, in his room, what had happened and sure enough... the new frog stuck! And there it has remained throughout Spring, Summer, Fall and now Winter.
The other day it was C-O-L-D. I happened to glance up at the little frog on the ceiling and he looked so... cold. To be perfectly honest, I was thinking NAKED... he looked cold and he looked NAKED.
So, I went to my knitting bag and cut off a couple of inches of green and cranberry coloured cotton wool. And with the help of my husband (who held the chair I stood on and told me he couldn't believe what I was doing), and my son who still thinks that I have somehow 'assisted' the little frog's staying power all these months (I have NOT!)... I was able to wrap a little scarf around the frog and thus made myself feel better knowing that he was a least warm... if not upside down.
The New Year is just around the corner... I wonder if a new Spring outfit will be necessary... for the frog I mean.
Update... August 2010
I can hardly believe it, that frog is still hangin' in there!

In honour of its sheer tenacity,
something in the way of a new summer outfit was a definite must!
Shades!

That is too fun, Cathie! I bet you were at the Frogstone Grill? We have a little collection of those frogs at our house, too!
Yep! That's exactly where we were Jill! Do you know that it is still there on Daniel's ceiling... only we purposely added another one... now there are two who get a wardrobe change in Summer and Winter!
Well you wouldn't want him to be lonely!
