The girls rescued this tiny baby lizard from a pool noodle while swimming the other day. These poor baby lizards don't move very fast, I think we always find them half-dead. The sharing of the holding of the baby lizards always causes some fights. Aimi Lark's turn holding the lizard was over so she went to kiss it before passing it to Mali Su. Well Mr. Lizard stuck to her lips and Kaylene and I about died. We were for sure it was going to run right into her mouth. It didn't, we all laughed hysterically, and Mali Su got her turn. Mali Su has learned to hold her hand open while holding baby lizards, the last baby lizard didn't get enough oxygen, sad. I told her it was "sleeping" as she put it out into the yard, to be with its family. When she was joyfully holding this baby lizard she told me it was the lizard she had put back with its family. It was a perfect teaching moment about death, but I couldn't do it. I want to live on a farm, kids and animals go well together.
