Yesterday, I was sitting (minding my own business) and here comes L running up "Ms Sherry, Ms Sherry...look what I have" as 2 little hands get thrust to about 5 inches from my nose..."I caught a lizard"
My heart skipped a beat as I saw sandwiched between L's little hands, a tiny lizard.
"I want to take him home!"

I got a little Tupperware for "Bam-Bam" as he was lovingly named so we could look at him and L could show big brother T and Papa.
"Don't be scared Bam-Bam. Your my little buddy."
T asked "How did you catch him L?"
"He was running like this (as L is wiggling his fingers in a running motion) on the bricks and then he stopped and I trapped him, when he tried to wiggle away I squished my hands tighter. Then Ms Sherry got this cup so I can show you."
So I'm thinking, how am I going to talk L into letting Bam-Bam go after he shows him off.
I ask L "What does Bam-Bam eat?"
L: "Ah, maybe grass or something."
"Nope, he eats bugs."
"He does?"
"Yep, are you going to go catch him a fly to eat for dinner?"
"No way!!"
"So maybe after you show Papa you should let him go so he can catch his dinner. Then he will grow big and strong, then you can see him every day here at my house."
"OK"
So after Papa has seen and L relives his story complete with hand motions, L runs (Tyler says poor lizard because L is running and his arms are moving back and forth with the cup in hand) :)
L then with all his might is trying to get the lid off. As the lid gives the cup goes one way the lid the other and Bam-Bam went flying...
So today every time L went outside, he would look and call (yell) for Bam-Bam...then we found him!!
(look at the pink dress then go left to the 1st full brick, on the tip top is Bam-Bam:)
But he was too quick this time for L's hands and too smart he went back towards the fence away from little hands. :)
