Our Animal Expert

Lately, Luke has been brushing up on his knowledge of recognizing various species of animals. He has a book that he loves to look at during storytime that has many colorful animal pictures. We started asking him to point to different animals. At first, he knew the basics ... dog, cat, duck, fish, etc. Now he's graduating to wildlife often found in the zoo ... elephant, rhino, turtle, giraffe, and more. He can't say all their names yet but soon! Overall, he can probably identify by picture about 10-12 different animals. Perhaps he's on the path of being a veterinarian like his Grandpa Nelson!
