sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Dart will climb up these long leaves and perch himself at the top, looking around and sitting still. I got nervous the other day when I couldn’t find him anywhere in his tank, and there he was at the top looking at me with a silly grin. His climb down is precarious: he’ll grab air and plunk down hard. Thankfully, he seems unfazed by it. This is a new adventure he’s been taking every day. He’s about one year old now, since his one year anniversary with us is July 5th and he was only 3-4 months old when we got him. He’s a wild gecko learning new skills and exploring high grounds.

    Is there a lid on top or is there a chance he’ll escape? Daring dart, what an adventurer!

      I can’t believe he’s almost been with us for a year already! Even a year ago, I didn’t think geckos were cute but had to compromise for a pet. Now, I think geckos are cute, but Dart is cutest of them all. Biased much??

        We are as biased about our pets as our kids (says me who never had kids) but of course her birds were the cutest, best singers or talkers … well you “get it”. 🙂

      He has, hasn’t he?! His big tail shows that he’s healthy and that he has enough nutrition to last a few days without food.
