A helping hand

I was spot cleaning cages the other day and my son volunteered to hold the critters while I worked. Gotta love em!

Your son is adorable, and quite helpful, too! My son is 20 now, and boy do I miss when he was younger and used to hang around and help me do things. Sigh

What a great little guy your son is !!! Helping you out, and with a big smile on his face :)

Thanks all. He is a really great kid with a strong mind and a big heart that I couldn't love more. He's an only child so our snakes and cat act are the closest things he has to siblings. :)

@ DLena- They grow up so fast don't they? I love this age though.

@ Zina- He's a little self conscious about his smile right now because Thursday is picture day and he's missing both front teeth. The 2nd one came out today. I guess the tooth fairy will be paying someone a visit. ;)

LOL. you just tell that little guy that he's more handsome without his front teeth than those other guys are with theirs (though I'm guessing most of his peers are missing a tooth or two also).

Tell him that is nothing to be self conscious about !!! Tell him its that is how you know he isn't a "little boy" anymore !! Wear the gap proudly ;)

Btw. make sure to let the tooth fairy know that a quarter isn't going very far nowadays, LOL ;)

Very cool! We need a "Kids with Snakes" thread. I have some pics but don't want to highjack your thread. I think teaching children about reptiles is a beautiful thing.

@ Zina- I'm trying to find $5 now. This is the same kid who wanted dinosaurs, power rangers, a new tv and gold for Christmas. Really Elijah, gold? Don't we all kiddo. At least he's a saver for now. Let's hope that sticks. :)

Well, that is a smart boy !! Gold is a good investment :)

And looks like saving paid off big time, wow !! Never to early to start good habits !! ;)
