So we finally came through on our word of getting Steven a pet. We want to get a little yorky but that will have to wait until I can give it more attention. So we took Steven to the pet store and decided a bearded dragon would be great. They like people and are pretty easy to hold ( they just sit there and don't move much) . The kids were all really excited and love to watch and hold him. They also love to watch him eat his crickets. Steven really wanted to name him so we let him ( even though it was a bit hard for me knowing what he might choose) and he decided on "Spike." One thing that old Spike does that is cute is when we turn off his day light and turn on the night light he finds a good spot, closes his eyes, cuddles down, and goes right to sleep. Wish our kids went to bed that easy!
