Cap'n Jack (that's how Aidan says the bearded dragons name!!)

So, we haven't killed the lizard yet! I must admit that he is not as interesting as I once thought. In fact, he flat out scares me! I jump at every move he makes.

Yesterday, Emory decided to give him a little break from his cage, so he brought him outside in the driveway, where the kids and I were playing. Emory and I were sitting in lawn chairs about an arms length away. Jack was perched up on Emory's shoulder, looking very pretty darn comfy. So, I start telling Emory a story, and that lizard jumped around too face me. I was flattered at first... I said "He likes me!" Well, I continued to talk and he continued to like me, so much in fact that he leapt through the air, arms out in front, tail flailing trying to reach my shoulder. He did not make it, in fact, he landed flat on the concrete. He rushed straight into the bushes and Emory had to chase him out. We almost lost the lizard on day 3 of having him. Aidan was screaming, you lost my lizard, my poor lizard! I was screaming for a different reason...I can't believe that he almost jumped onto my shoulder.

I am totally freaked out by this thing now. You never know where he's gonna move next. YUCK!!!
