Meghan is studying insects this week at school and they had a ton of ladybugs in a cardboard house, that kept escaping. One of them had escaped just as we were leaving and Meg convinced her teacher to let her bring it home, so she is telling everyone that she has a new pet!
She brought it home in a paper cup and I convinced her that it should go in a jar, and being the crafty little girly that she is, she got out her stickers and decorated her pets new home. (Can you tell she didn't really want to have anything to do with me taking her picture?) She named her new pet Alison, I'm sure it's after her friend Alison at school.
That's too funny-we usually end up with pretend pets named Brink and Spencer ("oh, don't sit on Brint" is what we normally hear from Aida!)
ReplyDeleteHope Alison has a good, happy life for however long a ladybug in a jar lasts!
Before I read to the end I would have bet that that bugs name was going to be Meghan!
ReplyDeleteWas Alison the one that got caught up in the wind and blew away at the track meet?
