Too cute!!

- The instagram reel humorous and relatable exchange with an adult about food preferences, particularly Mexican food, highlighting the child's stubborn yet endearing refusal and eventual capitulation, which resonates with viewers due to its depiction of common parent-child dynamics. - The child's dialogue and mannerisms, such as saying "no I'm not" and "yes you is," reflect typical toddler behavior and mimicry of adult speech patterns, as supported by research from Michigan State University Extension, which notes that young children learn by copying adults, including their tone and actions. - The post's viral nature and the adult's caption, "I've never felt more connected to a child I didn't give birth to," suggest a broader cultural appreciation for the child's assertiveness and the universal experience of negotiating with young children, aligning with findings from Parent.com that emphasize the importance of saying "yes" more often to foster trust and communication.

Here they come!!!

Hey folks, everybody knows Memorial Day weekend is the kick off to summer! Hard to believe we’re there already. Let’s make some memories together. Mini sessions are 30 minutes long and $285. Reach out with dates of your stay and we’ll see how we can help!!!

Researchers from the University of South Alabama have released video taken in mid-April of an 8-foot juvenile Great White shark spotted off the Alabama coast. The shark, named “Miss Pawla” by researchers, was still in the same area 10 days later. By last Friday, she was nowhere to be seen. According to the school, Miss Pawla is about 15 years old. Great Whites don’t reach maturity until they are about 30. The sighting occurred in about 150 feet of water in the vicinity of the reef and is the first known sighting of a Great White in that area. #alabama #gulfcoast

Mind-blown at how close we are to May already! Spread the word, summer is just around the corner! I'd love to help families create some memories!

We suspected. (Wishful thinking 😅) We waited. (Aka manifested🥰) And then we CONFIRMED (See Video 🥹)🥳…Our FIRST FERTILE LEATHERBACK NEST in 18 YEARS!!!🙀 Oh the HAPPIEST #FRIYAY EVERRRRR!!! 🤩 Ahhhh the Leatherback…aka Dermochelys coriacea…aka Dc for us turtle folks 🤓…the largest sea turtle in the world 🌎. They are the only species of sea turtle that lack scutes and a hard shell. They are named for their tough rubbery skin and have existed in their current form since the age of the dinosaurs 🦕 Leatherbacks are highly migratory, some swimming over 10,000 miles a year between nesting and foraging grounds. In Florida, they primarily nest on the Atlantic coast but a few are present on the Gulf coast and WE are one of the lucky duckies 🦆 to get one ☝️ of her nests!! Leatherbacks are known to lay multiple nests per season with about 10 day intervals between nesting events!! This is HUGE…ya know like LEATHERBACK HUGE!!! 😎Leatherback crawls range from 5’ to 8’ in width with them weighing in at 700 lbs to up to 2000 lbs!! WOWZERS!!! When they are on the smaller side with uncharacteristic crawls/nest like this one, they can easily be mistaken for a Green. 🧐 BUT history was MADE and Lacie the Leatherback (obviously named by you know who 😂) is off swimming to the sweet sargassum to return here to nest on our beaches in oh say like 30 years or so.😍 Yep, that’s us manifesting again 🥰😂. ✨NEST 16–LEATHERBACK 🖤 🐢45 emerged 🐢1 live in nest (part of emerged data count) 🥚5 whole eggs 🐢50 Total ⭐️90% HATCH SUCCESS 🥳 🐢SWTWG NESTING UPDATE💚 ⭐️54 Total Nests— 🐢34 Loggerhead, 19 Green & 1 Leatherback 🐢Of those we have excavated 24 nests thus far!! We also have assessed our nests post Hurricane 🌀 Idalia— All except 2 remaining nests were at least washed over by the high tide event with one complete wash out (Eggs seen washing out). Sea turtle nests can withstand some water disturbances but not standing water. We will continue to monitor these nests with high hopes of hatchling production. 🙏 **All work conducted under FWC MTP-120** “Lacie the Leatherback”😂 was released shortly after this video—after the sunset 🥰
