In the beginning of the school year Carson's amazing wonderful 1st grade teacher said everyone in the class would get the chance to take the class pet home for a weekend. I was relieved to read it was a stuffed dog named Digger. Carson came running out of school on Friday yelling " it's my turn, I got Digger!" To say he was excited would be an understatement. He couldn't wait to do all of the fun things with him. Luckily enough we were heading to something fun that night, Zoo lights. So he begged to take Digger to zoo lights with us. Carson was very responsible and kept track of him the whole time. He also wanted lots of pictures with Diggger.
When we got home he made sure he had a blanket to put in his carrier to sleep in and he made sure he slept right next to him. It was so adorable.
He loved taking care of him the whole weekend and carried him around and made sure he was taken care of. Carson definitely showed that he is ready for a pet of his own. We have told him that when we move he can get a pet of his own. As long as it is not a snake, I REFUSE to have any snake in my house.
On Tuesday of the next week Carson got a letter in the mail. It was a personalized letter from Digger and Carson's teacher Mrs. Adams. (Above and beyond amazing!) Carson was so excited to get the letter.

What an amazing teacher Carson has! What a great idea to have a class pet like Digger! I think it is wonderful that she is teaching her students responsibility at such a young age! Great job, taking care of Digger, Carson!
