Whish you and your son a safe yourney with the playing and send greetings from one of the two little guests who came to my garden yesterday.

Hedgehogs are my favorite animals! I would really love to have one as a pet, but they are illegal where I live so I have to content myself with collecting little figurines & stuffed toys. Do you know the story about Mrs. Tiggywinkle by the British author, Beatrix Potter? Thank you so much for posting this picture. I'm envious that you have hedgehogs in your yard!

Good Morning,

Thanks for likning my little friend. Yesterday they were three!
They are living under a little house/store in my garden. Now I can't do the work with this I intended to. I can rest in stead ☺️

Although not exactly a gcid, I thought this identity-origin story would please. I discovered it this morning on my potters' forum. The author has a website: www.josephmakespots.com


Joseph Fireborn's post: "My current last name is Rosenblatt. It is an adopted name from my father's father. My wife and I made a family decision to change our name. One of the main reasons was discrimination, and a lot of hate was aimed towards me as I grew up because of that last name. It only made me stronger as a person, which developed me into who I am now, but our son is a lot more tender hearted like his mommy, and we figured he would have enough issues growing up, much less adding another one, so we made a decision.

We wanted a name that didn't have an origin or nationality. We also wanted a name that wasn't religious. So we started coming up with names and then googling them to see if there was an ancestry to them. We had a list and we went down the list with our son, who is 4 almost 5. When we said Fireborn he got really excited about it, "Yea SOLOMON JOEL FIREBORN!". We discussed the meaning of it, it relates to birth of dragons, and pheonix's who rise from the ashes and are born again. That is how we feel about giving our son his own legacy and a new name that he will forge his families future with. So we went with Fireborn. I didn't realize until later after we filed the paper work that it is a really cool name for a potter as well. We should be Fireborns by the end of September/Ocotober. I just went ahead and changed it here because that's who I will be in the future. He already tells people, "you can call me Solomon, or Fireborn." hahah. It is pretty nerdy/awesome last name, but it just sounds unusual because no one has ever seen it used as a last name before."

 The reasoning behind my Id is J is my real first initial and "Jdog" was my first iPod "which I still haven't found after like 4 years or so" anyways now that I have an iPad I thought I'd remember my first music machine...btw if anybody sees a small pink iPod shuffle with Bon jovi let me know plz lol

Awesome Good for You and you're family, btw as a teen I think "Fireborn" is an awesome last name and I hope it all goes well, your son seems extremely happy with it and I hope you are too

I was quoting a fellow potter, Violet18. Sorry if I misled anyone by not adding quotes to Joseph Fireborn's post    I will edit it now.
