One more week...

We are getting excited to be coming back to the States in only one more week! :) But of course, before we start heading back home we had a funny thing happen...

The other day I was sitting at the computer, and Spencer was in his bathroom washing his hands. All the sudden he yells, "There's a gecko!" I didn't think anything of it, mostly because of the fact that Spencer screaming would have scared the gecko into a hiding spot. Then he comes blazing around the corner, and says, "Mom look a gecko." I look over and sure enough he has this baby gecko squashed between two fingers. So I quickly tell him, you aren't suppose to pick up geckos, and take that thing outside. While walking to the door to throw the gecko back out to nature, Spencer proceeds to tell me, "I have his tail and it won't go back on." And, yes, in his other hand he had the geckos tail and he was really trying to just put it back onto the gecko. I told him that he didn't need to worry about putting the tail back on, and had him throw the gecko out on the leaves of a plant by our door. Then I proceeded to flick the tail off of his finger also. The story doesn't end here, about thirty minutes to an hour later we were walking out the door to go somewhere, and I looked over to see that the gecko was covered in ants. Spencer saw and was shocked to see what was happening. Then he started asking questions, "Are the ants eating the gecko? Why are they eating the gecko? How do they eat the gecko? Where are the ants coming from?" And yes it is true that he asks that many questions over one little thing. You would think a boy his age would just look at it and say, "Cool", but no...we have the son with a zillion questions on his mind who will not give up until you tell him what the answers are.
