Oviparous!

Agent E came home and knew a word that no one else in the whole family knew! He was so proud of himself. Oviparous means that it comes from an egg. They are studing eggs at school. They have eggs in an incubator. When they hatched Agent E named the only yellow one, Luke!
The other day, Agent E came running in the house to tell me he found an egg! So I went to look and sure enough laying in the yard was an egg that looks like a chicken egg. Because of school he knew we needed to keep it warm, so they put a mitten on it put it in a little basket and shined a flash light on it! It ws so cute, they named him Junoir! Agent E took it to school and asked if they could put it in the incubator. So now we are waiting 21 days to find out if it survived and what it is. Agent E thinks it might be a turtle and BB thinks it will be a goose. I think it might be a "Quiter", that is what they call eggs that don't hatch! I don't know how long it was sitting in the yard without a mother! We will have to wait and see!
