Sand Hero

We were so lucky to be the recipients of such kindness from Mallory and Tanner...they sent the lizard they caught to live with Caden. Grandma and Grandpa brought it with them when they came to help us move. Caden loved it right away and just couldn't get enough while Kamrie and Avery took some time to warm up. At one point, Avery wouldn't even walk across the kitchen because she didn't dare get close to the cage. While searching for a name I gave all the "L" suggestions I could think of, after all a lizard needs an "l" name right? Well we agreed on Lenny but the next day Caden asked if we could name him some name sounding like it originated in the middle east. When I told him he could name him whatever he wanted he said I think "Sand Hero" would be good. I loved it, so we dropped Lenny and he was our little Sand Hero. Unfortunately due to lots of travel and who knows what else, Sand Hero didn't make it home from our last Utah trip. Caden was heart broken but it was a good learning experience for us all. We miss Sand Hero, even the trips to the pet store to buy BUGS for him to eat.

We had to build up the courage for this one, you can tell by the look on her face.
