Meet Marco

Tonight we went to the Trahan's and Alfred gave Sarah a turtle. She named him Marco.



Why is it just Sarah's pet? Because Katie wants nothing to do with it.



Alfred told her that there is just one rule with her pet turtle, which is that she cannot kiss him. He said he once saw a little boy try to kiss his turtle and the turtle bit him on the lip and wouldn't let go. So glad he shared this story with Sarah because I know she would have tried to kiss Marco.



She was so excited. She must have thanked and hugged Alfred at least ten times.



John David was pretty interested in the turtle, but surprisingly, he didn't try to pick him up.



Finally, a pet she can play with.



This is one happy girl!

Cute! Be sure the kids wash their hands good after holding Marco. My nephew got salmonella from a pet turtle we had once and ended up in the hospital!!

Yikes! We are aware that they carry salmonella, and our rule is that she can only play with him if she gets permission from us first. That way we can make sure she washes her hands afterwards. Still makes me nervous though. Can you guess who's idea a turtle was? Not mine. :)

She looks so happy... I am happy for her..We have Turtles too, and the girls can play with them only when we give Permission too.

Maybe the turtle will make up for the frog she couldn't take home from white lake:)
