Meet Egg

This is Egg. Cal's pet lizard.


A few weeks ago, some of our neighbors were out trying to catch a lizard and asked Adrian if he could catch it for them. About a week later they came and knocked on our door and asked if we wanted him, since Adrian was the one who caught him. Of course Cal thought it was the coolest thing EVER! He wanted to name him EGG. Cal absolutly loved Egg. Adrian and him built him a home in a box with dirt and rocks, gave him water to drink and food to eat. Cal would tell Egg goodnight for naps and bedtime, he blew him kisses, he was always wanting to touch egg and carry his box around. It was pretty cute how much Cal loved Egg.
We decided a week later it was probably best for Egg if he lived outside not in a box so he could see the rest of his family and have more room to play. Adrian let him go one night, and Cal stills tries to find him when we are outside. It was fun seeing Cal with a pet. Who knows maybe we will get a dog for the boys. (ok probably not!)
