Keiko had been upset for the last few days. She lost her stuffed toad. She kept looking everywhere for it and she still couldn't find it. Tsunade saw that Keiko was upset about losing her toy, so she took Keiko into the living room, sat on the couch and talked to her about it.
"Keiko, did you find your stuffed animal yet?" Tsunade asked carefully. Tsunade knew she had to be careful about what questions she asked Keiko. She didn't like when Keiko got upset. It took Keiko forever to calm down after she became upset.
"No," Keiko pouted. Keiko missed her stuffed animal. She really wanted her toad back. Tsunade wanted to make Keiko feel better, so she picked her up and started walking towards the door.
"Keiko, let's go out and buy another stuffed animal, okay?" Tsunade asked, hoping to make Keiko feel a bit better. Keiko didn't want a new stuffed animal, she wanted her old one.
"I want Froggy," Keiko told Tsunade. Tsunade wasn't going to ask Keiko if she was sure she didn't want a new stuffed animal. It would only make Keiko upset and Tsunade didn't want to do that.
Tsunade took Keiko back into the living room and set her on the couch. She told Keiko she was going to lay down and take a nap. She also told Keiko to stay out of trouble. Keiko looked like she wasn't even paying attention to Tsunade.
"Hey," Tsunade snapped, trying to get Keiko's attention, "Do you want to come and take a nap with Mommy?" She was hoping Keiko would get her mind off her stuffed toad for a little while.
"I, okay," Keiko quietly replied. Tsunade picked Keiko up and Keiko set her head against Tsunade. Tsunade understood that Keiko probably wasn't going to take her mind off her stuffed animal, but it was worth a try.
When they got to Tsunade's bedroom, Tsunade gently set Keiko on the ground for a second. Tsunade explained to Keiko that she had to go use the bathroom for a second, and expected Keiko to behave while she was gone.
Keiko quickly started looking around again. She really missed her toad. Keiko got on her stomach and looked under Tsunade's bed. There was her stuffed toad. Keiko quickly grabbed in and ran over to the bathroom.
"Mommy! Mommy! Found it!" Keiko yelled excitedly. Tsunade was a bit confused about Keiko was talking about.
"Keiko, Mommy will be out in a second. Hold on okay?" Tsunade told Keiko. Keiko was excited though.
"Froggy! Found him!" Keiko yelled again. Tsunade opened the bathroom door and looked down at Keiko and she saw that Keiko found her stuffed toad. Then Tsunade quickly scooped Keiko up.
"Where did you find him?" Tsunade asked Keiko on the way back to the bedroom. Tsunade tried looking for the toad as well without any success, and Keiko suddenly found it.
"Bed," Keiko said pointing at the bed. Tsunade was a bit confused at first, and then she got what Keiko was trying to say.
"You found Froggy under the bed?" Tsunade gently asked Keiko. Keiko looked at her mother, like Tsunade was stupid.
"Yeah, bed," Keiko said again. Tsunade was becoming amused. She set Keiko on the bed, and then she climbed in it herself. Then Tsunade laid down and Keiko snuggled in next to Tsunade. Tsunade turned over and held Keiko. Soon, Keiko fell asleep. Tsunade got out of the bed to do some work, but she left her jacket in bed with Keiko, so Keiko would have Tsunade's scent, even though she wasn't there.
