Bishop and the Boa Constrictor

Every summer, Kindercare has special events everyday. Some of the events include Costume Kim (a woman who comes in costume to tell stories, etc), The Baker Man (a man in a bakers outfit who talks about baking, gives the kids cookies, etc), farms, aquariums, water day (every Wednesday--they play in water outside) and other smaller events (wear your favorite color, the icecream truck comes, etc). On Friday the RAD Zoo came. It's a reptile Zoo and it's actually from Owatonna (my home town). Bishop sat front and center and had the best time ever. Luke was picking him up to head to Cold Spring, so he got to see some of the "show" and he said Bishop was paying very close attention and he got so excited he jumped up at one point!

The "zoo keeper" asked for volunteers to hold the Boa Constrictor and of course Bishop's hand shot up right away! Luke was able to watch Bishop hold the snake and he said he wouldn't let go! He squeezed it and kept holding on.....his teachers said he kept petting the snake and he put his hands up by his face and head. The zoo keeper had to tell him that wasn't such a good idea and to just pet him on his body! Luke said the zoo keeper didn't know the other kids' names, but he knew BISHOP! Ha! This kid seriously has no fear!

I got these pictures from Kindercare and one of his teachers took a couple on her phone. She said she'd send them to me, so I'll add them when I get them.

Holding on tight!

We are so fortunate that we like the kids' daycare so much! I love all the events they have and all they get to experience. It's the absolute PERFECT fit for Bishop! It was about a year ago that there was a lot of turnover and a lot of the teachers left.....I wasn't that happy and so I started looking around at other centers. Thankfully, there wasn't a perfect fit at that time, because the new teachers that have come in have been absolutely wonderful!! I love all the teachers, especially Nora's teachers and Bishop's. It feels so good knowing they are in good hands all day and they enjoy their days!
