This is how we spent Wednesday morning. The Reptile Man came to preschool! All three of the kids loved it! I think Abigail had the silliest permi-grin on her face the whole time. She was in love with the tortoise! She cried so hard every time I took her off so another kid could have a turn sitting on him. I managed to get a pic of all three kids together, courtesy of Mr Tortoise!
Dominic had a doctor appointment today and they got suckers when they left. Gabriel and his cousin, Conner, picked out blue suckers. When we were driving home Dominic was laughing at their blue tongues. I asked him what the reptile man had said about blue tongues, one of the lizards had a blue tongue. He told me, "they trick you. they make other animals think they have poison." That kid remembers what you say. He is my smarty pants and you only need to tell him something one time and he will remember.
Gabriel had no problem jumping with the enjoyment. Although I would say he was a little unsure about the crocodile on his head! I love his little grin, like he just doesn't know what to think, but his brother wasn't afraid. Abigail was meant to live with the reptiles! When he was giving his talk she goes running up to see the cobra, of course I'm chasing her, but that girl has no fear!
I loved seeing my kids smiles. I will always remember these fun things that we get to do. I don't know if they'll remember these times of when they're little, but I know I will always treasure these moments. Seeing the world through the eyes of a child is priceless. And I love days like these, when we get to play all day and do special things. We are so blessed.
