Catch Of The Day
Charlie informed me on Sunday morning that he would be catching a brown skink -- he looked it up online and read about where to find them and then wandered off to do his usual (that being whatever it is that Charlie does outside that turns up these creatures.)
Later in the afternoon he came back to show me his catch, which he had set up in one of the (many) terrariums we have in the garage:
Happily he has since let it go, after reading that they do not, in fact, eat dandelion heads as one of our little neighbors attempted to convince him -- rather, they eat various arthropods which even Charlie did not feel like attempting to catch.

Ten Year Well Visit
Charlie had his ten year well visit with his pediatrician yesterday -- he measured up at 60 1/4 inches tall and 99.6 pounds. This is a three inch gain over last year and a six pound weight gain, which the doctor said was perfect! It also means that he has gained 3 inches for 2 years in a row now -- the doctor told me my days of being taller than him are "very limited" -- oh dear!
No shots needed this year and no health concerns, so an easy check up!

They're Baaaaack....
The lice, unfortunately!! Amelia woke up Sunday morning complaining that her head and neck itched; when I looked she had the same rash on the back of her neck that she did last fall when she had head lice -- OH NO! Sure enough, when I come through her hair with the lice comp I came up with 2 lice and one egg. So we are sentenced to slathering her head in olive oil every night for the next week :( :( Fortunately yesterday's comb through produced nothing, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is a, err, minor infestation this time. Mercifully I did not find any on Charlie although I do feel the need to check his head again i the near future...
