New Friend

After two years of patiently trying, Owen finally caught a lizard in our backyard. It's a small lizard, but now that he's caught one, I anticipate his efforts will be redoubled.

Owen has declared the lizard his best friend, much to Roland's dismay. Although he followed that with Roland and Nala also being his best friends. I don't think it helped Roland's disposition any.

As the lizard got closer to Owen's head, his jubilant outlook waned a little.  It's right about this point that he decided a lizard in a jar would far outweigh a lizard by his head. 

I'm not sure this little guy is going to last in captivity, but we'll give it a shot. If anything, the little guy's experience, for good or ill, will help reinforce caring for our animals, which I'm sure will sit well with Rollie and Nala.

A lizard, the reward for patience. Jim Morrison is smiling.

Okay, I know this is out of order. But, I found out today, Jackson has officially changed his super hero from Spider Man (a very worthy superhero, of course) to Captain Underpants! All someone has to do is ask him: "who is your favorite superhero." A
casual comment, to be sure.

But his answer now is: "CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!"

And, he wasn't even sure what his super powers are (but, really, who needs to ask??) The answer is obvious!!! He is Captain Underpants!!! So, Owen, just so you know, your thoughts and decisions effect everyone up here FOR SURE!!!!!! We love you, Mr. Captain Underpants Superhero! :0)

Love, Grandma Bug
