A few weeks back I did a post about this awesomely unique website, www.giantmicrobes.comAnyway, with my month's allowance I decided to pick three microbes that were not only awesome, but also that would match our pack 'n play. My original plan was to replace the three ugly tan bears, which presently hover over our pack 'n play. I guess I'm a tad bitter because they were supposed to be safari animals, though the small print on the pack 'n play box said, "Mobile animals may vary. " And they did.
Anyway I'd like to introduce you to our top choices. (Yes, Renee helped me choose these microbes.)
