I must apologize for neglecting my blog so. I am sorry. I've been a little bit busy and a little bit lazy about doing it. [slapping own wrist] Shame on me!

This past weekend my parents too my son (3 yrs old) to the zoo. They thought it would be so fun but as it turned out my son seemed unphased by it. He has been to a zoo before, just not this one. Oh well. He still had fun. And as usual he was pretty tight-lipped and forgetful when my husband and I tried to grill him about what he saw at the zoo. We figured we'd have to patiently wait for little tidbits and stories to slip out of him when we were least expecting them. That's how it usually works with him.

Today my son and I were at our local park and he suddenly starts telling me about the python he saw at the zoo. [shutter] I hate snakes. Yuk! He thought it was cool so I listened while he talked about it. A little later we were playing in the backyard and what does he see......a "python". Figures. Now I did not see the snake but I know there are some around, though I like to pretend there are not. And I am no snake expert but I know the difference between a "harmless" [rolling my eyes, a snake is a snake!] gardner snake and a big freakin' python. [shutter] I think what he saw was the former. Thank Gaauuud! But he proceeded to tell me how it slithered from his picnic table to the "basement" of his playset. [shutter] Not only is he convinced it was a python [shutter] but now he wants to play Python Killer and hunt the snake. Blah! It was only two weeks ago when a snake surprised him and he decided he was scared of them! What happened to that kid?! I think I'd rather have him scared of them and doing his best to stay away rather then be intrigued and hunting them! Uggg! Boys! [shutter]
