Happy 7th Birthday R2!


Happiest Birthday to this free spirit, nature lover, bugs’ and reptiles’ enthusiasts, brave ‘n bright explorer.  The world would be a dull place without individuals like you.

 

Thanks for looking carefully into things that really matter – I had never looked into a bee's eyes, mouth and stinger. It never occurred to me to feed honey to a bee.

 

Thanks for teaching me the huge difference between worms and millipedes! I never knew that.

 

Thanks for making me to order caterpillars and watch them turn into butterflies. I never had that experience before.

 

Without you I would’ve never noticed all the grasshoppers in the road we used to bike.


Thanks for forcing me to ski by your side at the same speed – although I almost tore my chin. I needed some heart crashing excitement.

 

Thanks for opening my eyes to see the beauty of the snakes. I will promise to keep my promise and buy you a snake for your birthday someday – No, not a python.

 

I will promise to take you to Arizona's desert in search of the Giant Desert Centipede – as you gave me a written notice for that.

 

I will promise to take you to a desert in Iran in search of the best scorpion.

 

Thanks for persuading me to make that silly phone call in a hope to convince the American seller to send us that beetle. It was a relief that they don’t ship to Canada, but I admire your persistence.

 

Thanks for pointing out to me that I am not even considered beautiful compared to a Leopard Gecko. You are very right. He has mesmerizing eyes and gorgeous skin. Plus touching his beautiful skin is "satisfying".  And yes, “we are animals too.” 

 

I Love your ever-digging fingers under dirt and stones.

Keep searching. Nothing is more satisfying than having something to search for.

 

I make sure I do not let any schooling system to confine you, define you, or redirect your focus in any ways against your true wish.

You are a beautiful soul. We are honoured and extremely lucky to be your family.
