This is Melina's indoor vivarium with a full spectrum light and heat lamp .... until she is big enough to be outside while we are not here! :D ( and we finish the enclosure with the chicken wire... she needs to be at least 6 inches.

Kindergarten

Today I visited my old daycare with my little brother. We had fun playing outside until it became too hot.
Then we had lunch at McDonalds and ate ice cream of course.
I am thinking about my kindergarten, I hope my teacher is nice and good. My mommy is going to send me to kindergarten. Only two weeks until school starts. What is my teachers name?
I will find out at meet the teacher day next week.
I am excited to see my new teacher and my friends.
And I am so ready to go to kindergarten, ready for show and tell, and to see the lunchroom and cafeteria. And to see the playground and have fun with my friends on it.

I have some new clothes for school.
How many friends are there, is there a lot? more another day

more fun!
