Recently, our neighbor, Connor, caught a couple of lizards and was nice enough to share his new-found pets with Osten. We only kept him overnight, but Osten was thrilled to have an animal to call his own.
We kept him in this old apple juice jar, and he spent the night in our garage. Even though he was with us for just 24 hours, the kids got rather attached. They named him Sticky Hands, a name that is more descriptive than creative! Osten and Marci played with him all afternoon and even took turns taking him for rides on their swingset.
It was a very sad moment when it came time to return Sticky Hands to the great outdoors.
Even though Daddy promised Osten and Marci a childhood full of many more captured creatures, saying good-bye to Sticky Hands was still a tearful event.
