Lizard Show

Pictures from the Reptiles Alive presentation at Amanda's library last week. Benjamin had a good time looking at lizards, turtles, and snakes. When the presentation was over, he got to touch a snake (python I think).

Before the presentation:

One of the lizards. Note Benjamin and Amanda on the left side of the screen. Amanda was taking pictures for the library newsletter.

An alligator (like the ones found in the sewers and metro):
The kids had a good time raising their hands whenever the presenter had a question, even when they didn't know the answer.

The snake:

Benjamin-isms

-the other night while we were on our way home from visiting Amanda, Benjamin spotted the moon out his car window. After he pointed it out to us he notified us that it was "moony. It's not sunny, it's moony".

-while out and about today, Benjamin said the following:
"A spaceship goes up in the air. A car goes on the ground. A train goes on the tracks. And pizza goes in my mouth."

-tonight I was grumbling over the Red Lobster Crabfest advertisement on the TV (I really love crab). Benjamin asked me what was wrong and after stumbling over various excuses I finally told him that I didn't like the commercial on the TV. He asked me if it was being mean to me. In order to appease him I told him that yes it was. He walked over the TV, got right up in front of it and gave it a stern talking to by telling it to stop being mean to Mommy.
