Elsa has become obsessed with chameleons. Absolutely OBSESSED. She is still passionate about butterflies, other bugs, and other lizards, but chameleons are the best. We've been reading about them, watching them on you tube, drawing pages and pages of them, and, of course, pretending to BE them.
"Mommy! Can you find me?"
We have since then learned in our research that chameleons don't actually change color for camouflage (but rather to express dominance or anger or other emotions) and are not always monochrome, but we decided it was OK to pretend that way for fun. So, no, chameleons don't really turn all blue, but Nora didn't care about that and was just happy to be included in the fun!
