Rolie Polie Olie


Landry was all kinds of bent out of shape when she didn't get a pet. That is very typical in our house these days. She wants everything Ashton has. She wants to say and do everything Ashton says and does. She really just wants to be Ashton and not just the little sister.

After Ashton got Chili Pepper all set up, the girls were outside playing in the backyard when Landry discovered a rolie polie. She squealed with pure delight because she knew that she had found her very own pet.

She was so cute...she flew through the back door and made a bee line for the cabinets to find a container for her new pet. Then she needed to feed him and thought that her cheerios would be the perfect healthy food for him.



She wanted me to take a picture of her "holding" her pet. That poor little fella didn't have a chance. She took very good care of him even when he was "sleeping". She kept him out of the sun, found him some dirt to hide in, put grass in there and even a few toys. 

Oh, the fun of being four...playing outside, finding new pets all while in your jammies. The interest in her pet didn't last long. After he never woke up from his nap, her Big Sis explained to her that he was dead. Ashton also told Landry that you can't catch bugs for pets...and shockingly, LP didn't mind so there was no drama!
