Bob

Meet Bob

This is Alex's new pet.  He came home with it this morning and asked if he could keep it.  Of course I had to ask if he meant inside or outside.  We agreed on outside where Bob is currently residing in a paper cup.

Alex looked up what Bob should eat. 

Alex played with Bob. 

 Alex jumped and dropped Bob when he almost crawled onto his arm. 

 Alex tried to feed Bob an ant.

Bob wasn't interested. 

Alex decided that tomorrow he would release Bob, because as he seriously told me,

"It's the right thing to do, Mom." 

So tomorrow, Bob will take up residence in our apple tree, where I assured Alex that Bob would happily eat the bugs that want to hurt our apples.
