Jungle Jill

Because of Elayna’s continuing potty struggles, we decided to increase her daycare time – and hopefully increase her consistency - to 4-days a week instead of 3.  Friday’s are my day home with Elayna and I’m really trying to make the most of our time together.  Today, we went back into school.

It really wasn’t as bad as that sounds.  E’s school was having a special animal program today that I didn’t want her to miss – so we both went in for about an hour.  This was incredibly confusing for Elayna but I think she enjoyed herself after a while. 

Jungle Jill brought in about 6 different animals to talk to the kids about:  tortoises, turkeys, bunnies, a ferret, a flying squirrel, and even a boa constrictor.  She let them pet most of them and gave a good explanation of each.  I think the snake was E’s favorite – purely from the ‘ehhh’ factor.

Here she is petting the turkey.  She’s sitting on her teacher, Mrs. May’s, lap.
