Harry has wanted a pet for a really long time. He wanted to get rid of his brother last fall and get a pet instead. We asked him the other day which he'd rather have.
Cat or Nate? Nate.
Dog or Nate? Nate.
Pet monkey or Nate? Pet monkey.
Anyway, he got a little bug collection container from his preschool teachers. While we were outside this morning, the boys found a roly poly. They decided to name it Teddy and it was Harry's new pet...until he stepped on it. He was so sad that the roly poly died. Later this afternoon, we found another roly poly and we put it in his container. After I went inside, I noticed a ladybug on my shirt so we put that in there too. Harry is calling them his new pets. He said they needed food so he got them some pretzel sticks. I said that grass and leaves would probably be better but he insisted on the pretzels. Nate has gotten ahold of the container and shakes it like a rattle. The roly poly curls into a ball when that happens. I don't think it's going to survive very long.
