Thank You Wild Kratts!



At any given moment, Isaac is pretending to be something.  This morning it was a leopard.

While I was helping him get ready for school, he was giving me a hard time, so I informed him he must be full of spit and vinegar today.  Whenever I say anything about vinegar, he knows I usually follow it up with lots of tickling.  Don't ask me what it means.  I got it from my Grandma Glissmeyer.  Us kids were always full of vinegar and were in need of a good tickle when she was around.  Anyway...this morning Isaac threw up his hands and said, "No, don't get me.  I'm just an innocent mammal."

Big words for a kid that couldn't even say 'Dad' until he was four.  I decided to find out if he knew what he was talking about.  I quizzed him on animal classification.  Snake?  Penguin?  Frog?  Correct.  Correct.  Correct.

Apparently, even though he can't be bothered to remember what that shape is called that has three sides and three angles, he has his animal classifications down pat.  Thank you Wild Kratts!
