I must remember this time...
My 4 year old daughter is enamored with REPTILES---specifically IGUANAS! It started simply enough a few months ago. It was summer here in Central Texas and Reese was a self-proclaimed lizard hunter. This child loves Bear Grylls and Billy the Exterminator--she is fearless. She began to imagine that these run-of-the-mill texas lizards were indeed iguanas and komoto dragons. She comes by her love of, and interest in, nature honestly--from me. I may be a girly girl but I love my biology, critters, and bugs! Well lizard catching led to the purchase of a few lizard inspired toys and clothing---specifically iguanas. She has a stuffed iguana, "rodeo" dragon (komoto dragon), and ignana tee-shirt. These are some of her most cherished posessions. For some reason the writers of the children's cartoon "Olivia" decided that a main character in their storylines would also have a pet iguana. The pleas began. She wants santa to bring her one for Christmas.... hmmmm, these things...
