On Thursdays Joanna is the only on who goes to school, and my mom offered agreed to take her this morning! It was sooooo nice to just get one little person ready for a little ol’ half day at school. She let Natalie come with for the ride. Of course she was sad when she had to come back home. My mom asked her what would make her want to come back home. Natalie said, “You got some French fries?” So they stopped on the way home for that special treat. :) As my mom was leaving though, she ran across a turtle in my street and brought it back to show Natalie.
Natalie was very interested in him and talked to him.
But then he started walking, and she FREAKED OUT! She scrambled into my lap and screamed for a while. She’s like that with animals though – she likes the idea of them more than their actual right-in-her-face selves. She calmed down a bit and even named him. Mom asked her what we should call him, and without pause she said, “Natalie.”
Mom took him to her house to see if he wants to live in the backyard. We tried our backyard but “Natalie” kept heading to the holes that the big neighbor dogs have dug under the fence. That didn’t seem like it would end well. Mom is hoping he’ll be around and she can show Joanna too.
