We have an armadillo in our house

Every day Riley is a new animal. We have had a tiger climbing the sofa, a bunny hopping through the house, a kitty rubbing on our legs, a puppy bouncing through the house, you name it… she has been it. Today she is an armadillo. She popped about of bed this morning and said, “mama today I’m an armadillo, but I don’t know what to eat.” I told her that I did not know what armadillos eat and she said very seriously, “but mama how can I be an armadillo if I don’t know what to eat?” So we discussed what armadillos look like and where they live. She said that armadillos have long claws and like to dig so we came to the conclusion that they must eat bugs and worms as part of their diet. So she had bugs and worms for breakfast which was really waffles and blueberries. I tell you she has quite the imagination. So my little armadillo is off to school and tonight we will read the armadillo books that I checked out from the library and YES, they do eat worms and bugs among other things.
