New Pet?

Reganne has a new student teacher Mrs. Gooch. This week she taught about bugs and brought in crickets for the kids to observe. They learned about how to tell a boy from a girl, what they eat, and finally what they do at night. Reganne of course facinated by all bugs was eager to ask if she could bring one home. Mrs. Gooch told her and the other kids if they wanted one they needed a note from their moms with the ok. From the time school let out for the day Reganne began to ask for permission.

And asked, and asked, and asked again. She repeatedly gave me all the facts about them. Then she started another method on how she would take care of it. She would walk, play, and feed it every day. I reminded her that it was a bug and they don't belong in the house. That is fine it can stay outside.

Finally just to get some peace and quite I said yes. But it must stay outside. She went to work getting a house ready for it. So much for sleeping.

Reganne & Crystal the Cricket

Crystal the Cricket in her new home.

Update the cricket it still alive and has taken up residence in Reganne's room since it is to cold outside. She also asked for cricket food. Where do we get that I asked? At Petco where we get the fish food.

I am terrified of what type of pet will be next.
