A small visitor
A couple of weeks ago Austin spotted a turtle out the window trying to run as fast as turtles can across our driveway. Luckily Austin isn't a total wuss like me, and he went and picked him up to show Mason. Of course he went into his shell, so we set him on the porch and watched quietly until he poked his little head out and started walking. Mason was thrilled! And then insisted that we feed him some carrots. On Blue's Clue's, Blue has a turtle named turquoise that eats carrots. My child is pretty educated via television. {Mom fail}. We put out some carrots but he wasn't interested, and went on his way into the wilderness behind our house. So long little friend!

We have turtles here too! We've bever had one that close though. And I somewhere heard that turtles can carry salmonella so I've forever beenweary of them! And that is not a mom fail! I tried EVERYTHING to teach Norah the alphabet but she wouldn't do it until she watched a Leap Frog show about it. She watched it like a thousand times over a couple weeks, figured it out, then never wanted to watch it again!
Learning is learning even if it's multi-media! Gunner was barking like a crazy mutt at something at the edge of the yard and it took me awhile to see the poor turtle cowering there. We also saw a huge one lumbering across the road. Interesting local wildlife--which we like better than the slugs in the Northwest :)
