How wonderful this thread is still being added to. Love the pics of everyone!
Ivylea, hope this isn't intrusive to say but I just was thinking recently about the lessons in life that I see happening with my own four kids and our snakes. HOw the kids are learning to be patient, to understand the needs of a snake are so different from their own, etc.
Then when I saw you mention your beautiful oldest child is deaf I got thinking. What a wonderful thing a snake is to have in your home! A creature that has no natural ability to hear sounds as we perceive them yet lives fully, thriving, interacting and getting as much stimulus from their environment as any of us do with our "normal" hearing range. What a wonderful thing that is!
