Lizzie the lizard

Sometimes we have the greatest moments when children share their world with us...

" Hey Rowan, I have a lizard called Lizzie.

My dad find it, it’s like a mud pit yeah and it’s where we catch the lizards it’s a lizard pond and we got it and it has grass.

The lizard then he’s holds onto my little finger,  and he’s getting like getting used to me, getting used to me and um he on he’s getting used to me, the lizards are getting used to me.”

I asked how many lizards Harlee Jay has and he told me…

“I got heaps of them. Cause I call the rock pond the lizard pond yeah funny. And dad puts his motorbike in the lizard pond. I have heaps of lizards at my house. I named all the other ones yeah all the other lizards I named one softie I’ve seen softie and um goodie yeah goodie and um lizzie and goodie and lovely and then and then grassie and ah sandy and that’s all of them. And then this one called tree-ie,  the little ones are all called tree-ie and the big ones are all called Lizzie.

And my dad he just catch all of them, he must be a lizard too, cause he’s faster than a lizard.”
