07-29-09 Sleeping Squirrel

(posted 8-20-09) I've been catching up on some of the older Tray Time stuff, I thought I would throw a more recent one in there as well...

A neat little impromptu lesson during lunch! Ryan, Cassada and I were eating lunch on the deck and I look up and happen to find a sleeping squirrel on a branch. We had JUST been re-reading one of our Animal Baby books about squirrels the night before and one small section was talking about their sleeping habits. Well, I can say I've never personally seen a squirrel sleeping on a branch, so I was super stoked about it. Ryan was too, since I'm assuming he's never seen one either (haha). So, we got to talk about squirrels a bit more during lunch and watch this little guy sleep, stretch, reposition and sleep again. Nice...

(The pictures are a little blurry b/c I was taking them through the screen on our porch and he was a good distance away).
