Clean little Frodo now. I wonder when he'll begin excavating his own pond--for I do see it happening.

Nice bonding time for our two very favorite Hobbits. And I wish Frodo could have brought his tadpoles, too. Remembering how many we brought into our house, it brings back fond memories.

Drogo smiled contently, looking at his wife. "See, I told you that there was nothing to worry about when he is with Bilbo. The old hobbit loves him and looks after him as well as we would - even if there are dwarves and wizards."

Dwarves and wizards will play an important role in Frodo's later life. It's as if Drogo had foresawn, what would happen in the future.

Anyway, I just like stories where little Frodo is happy. Things will change rapidly- you know, what I mean ;-)

And, of course, no chapter without tadpoles. I've waited for the tadpoles ;-)

Thank you!

Author Reply: The tadpoles won't let go of me either. I think one day there might be another short tadpole-story with wee!Frodo :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

What a cute ending to this lovely little story! I can sympathize with poor overprotective Primula, LOL! What mother wouldn't be overprotective, with such a darling as wee!Frodo?

Thank you for such a sweet story, that helps to explain the later bonds of love between Bilbo and Frodo.

Author Reply: I wouldn't let wee!Frodo out of my eye. :)

Thanks a lot for reading, Dreamflower!

He was sitting on Bilbo's lap, head resting against his uncle's breast, warm arms wrapped about him, holding him, protecting him.

How I love snuggly moments like that, and happy, loved Frodo. What a wonderful story, Lily! I enjoyed every bit of it.

Gandalf must have nerves of steel to resist Frodo's plea to stay a bit longer.

And it's just as well Primula ends up thinking that Frodo is all right in Bilbo's care, because . . .

Author Reply: Nerves of steel or pressing news from outside the Shire.

At least Primula already saw how well Bilbo could and will care for Frodo.

Awww!! That was so cute! Poor Frodo, I can imagine the shock this gave him! To think it was really a wizard's hat...
*g* I loved how he started telling Gandalf about the tadpoles! He's so cute when he starts talking about his tadpoles and ponds and such. And of course imagining Frodo with that giant hat! *lol*

Author Reply: *hehe* The tadpoles won't let go of dear Frodo easily :)

That chapter was just hysterical . . . and cute as anything. I've been meaning to review this story and have been lax, but I find it utterly charming.

Author Reply: Thanks a lot, Lily! Little Frodo captures everybody's heart.

My, you should have seen my face when your mail arrived. First I feared I had reviewed myself last night when I had been supposed to sleep.

Haha! The tadpoles again :)
Will he ever stop chattering about them?
I see the possibility that Bilbo at last starts to raise them in Bag End's pool only to get his peace!

"No more wizards," the child told his uncle leaning against him and wiping his eyes with Bilbo's jacket.

"Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards!" Well, the old saying is true ;-)

Author Reply: The tadpoles will ever be on his mind. I wonder what he will do when the tadpoles turn into frogs and leave the Baggins' pond. Oh my, I already see the huge tears and the trembling lip!

There's something about the image of Frodo disappearing beneath an oversized grey hat that is very appealing. And at least it stopped him asking questions!

Indeed! :)
I just couldn't get that image ouf of my mind.
