The Amazing Alligator!

Denisha brought the kids some little treats the other day. She got the girls some socks and got Micah this alligator. It said to put him in water and he would grow. It was so funny. Micah would get his ruler out each day and report his growth and he finally stopped growing after about a week. I wish I had gotten a picture of him holding it before he grew, because the picture doesn't do it justice. It didn't just grow in length, but width and all around. He is made out of some weird rubbery material. Once he is dried off, he isn't slimy or anything. He just feels similar to a rubber ball or something similar.

So, now he is back on his dresser and is shrinking. I'm not sure he'll get as small as he originally started, but he is slowly going down. He does "sweat" a bit in this process, but not too bad.

Who knew that $1 could bring such entertainment for the whole family:-)

Here is a picture of him when he came out of the package. He was just about 6 inches long:


Here is a picture of him next to the same ruler and Micah holding him:
