What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreAyla loves animals the most. Since before she could talk she was happy to be around any animals including insects. Ayla will hold a roach or a bee in her hand without hesitation. I have noticed animals seem to trust her also, butterflies land on her or flutter around her. Once a small bird that had been accidentally trapped in our mudroom jumped into the palm of her hand.
Her favorite animal is an axolotl, because they always look like they are smiling. If she had one for a pet she would draw silly faces and accessories like hats, and glasses, on the outside of its tank.
Ayla likes collecting things from nature to make art with. She also likes to find snakes, frogs, or salamanders outside.
