Our own Olympics

Wrestling
Today as we pulled into the driveway I saw a green lizard on the house. I told little man to be quite and got him out of the car quickly so that we could see the lizard before he disappeared. Then we saw another big green lizard (this is the kind that one of the little boys on my block squeezed to death once upon a time). The lizards were near each other and started doing this strange head bobbing motion. Then they tried to attack each other. I thought this was our territory - but apparently they think it is their turf to defend. They basically had each other by the mouths and were holding on to each other for a pretty long time. We watched the match for at least 5 to 7 minutes - little guy thought it was pretty interesting. Finally, I had to take the groceries inside. When we went back out to check they had disappeared. I have never seen that before.

Rhythmic Dance
We have been a little lax with the wee one about TV watching with the Olympics on - it's sports and so it doesn't seem quite the same. He really enjoyed the diving a few days ago. Today we caught the very end of Rhythmic Gymnastics. The little guy took to it quickly. He found himself one of his play ties and began doing his own moves. I don't think he has much of a future in the sport (since it is a female sport) but he thought it was pretty fun. Don't tell his dad!
