The Lizard

Cohen has the same affection toward animals as I do.  One day, he was worried about a worm getting back to its home before a rain storm.  After looking at that worm, he told me he loves all kinds of animals.  He said, "I love everything." One day, we were playing with a big beetle outside of Henry's school.  Everyone was afraid of it, but Cohen surrounded it to make sure it was okay.  As I was hurrying the boys to get home, Cohen didn't want to leave the bug behind.  He turned around and saw someone step on the beetle, and he had a complete meltdown in front of the entire school - screaming, "MOM, SOMEONE STEPPED ON THAT BUG!!!"  Poor buddy was so upset all afternoon.  

This morning, Cohen found a new friend in our backyard.  Not sure why, but he named it Canon the Lizard.  

 The Lizard has crawled all over Cohen.

 He is surprisingly very gentle with it.

Cohen tried to feed it pretzels.

The Lizard is now in a bug container on Cohen's dresser.  He has been showing off everything in his room to his new friend.  Hopefully I can convince Cohen to let us release Canon back to his mommy by tonight.
