Our little friend...

So we have these 2 lizards who come by everyday to "say hello". Ever since we moved in - almost 3 years ago - they've done this. At first, it was a big one. Then last year was a baby. So we call them Frank and Frank Jr.

As you can see, Frank Jr came to visit. But, he crawled inside the screen and was stuck between it and the glass. He was there for awhile. Little Man and I lightly tapped the glass, hoping to lead him back to how he crawled in. Never happened. So all day, we kept checking on him. Finally, before we went to bed, we noticed he got out.

Sometimes, they're around the front door, sometimes the back. But they always make sure we see them at least once each day. No matter what mood I'm in, they always put a smile on my face.

Kid Stuff (#1)

An empty box of diapers can be useful? My little man figured out how. He emptied the box, then asked me to put his baby brother in it. So I did, and then he climbs in the box, too. As you can tell, baby boy was loving it. So is the little man, but couldn't catch his smile fast enough.

I've been wanting to get some kind of pet for my little man, since my husband won't let us have a dog or cat (he doesn't like animals, even though I come from a family were we adore our pets more than most people, haha). So I figured, why not a fish? With a fish, I won't have to worry about it getting lost in the house or biting one of the boys. So Saturday night, we went and got him a betta fish, and he loves it! We still haven't figured out a name yet. Trying to come up with something easy, and from a cartoon or movie he loves. We'll see. But he's a pretty fish; black and blue, but two front fins are red. PetSmart has them on sale for $1.99. Not bad. 

What was your first pet?

My parents got a dog - a chow - when I was 4 years old. So he was my first pet. Wonderful dog. He died back in 1999. My latest pet was a beagle, but she died earlier this year. In between them, I've had fish, hamsters, and chinchillas. And my family has a cats. I would like to have a dog again, but then again, I don't. I don't want to deal with the loss. It hurts me too much.
