Brooke is nuts about lizards! And frogs too! I think we have the Clines to thank for this. She's always loved nature, animals and being outdoors, but she has recently become OBSESSED with lizard and frog hunting. At night we get a few tree frogs stuck to the outside of our windows and she insists on going outside in the dark and catching them. Today when we got home she saw a lizard climbing o her playhouse and yelled "Mommy! Stop! I see a lizard!". She jumped out of the car and chased it until she caught it. I snapped this picture and you can just see the joy it brings her. This one got a way a few seconds later and was hiding under the car where she couldn't reach it. She insisted I reach around the back of the tire to grab it for her and I tried to talk her out of it, telling her I wasn't any good at catching lizards. Her reply, "Come on mommy! I know you can do it!" How does a mother say no to her daughter when she talks like that?? So, I got on my belly and shimmied under the car to catch that lizard. She was thrilled and proud of her mommy. But it wasn't long before she lost it again and was off to find the next one. Lizards today.. raccoons tomorrow.
