Can you see him? A little caterpillar! (click on the picture to "big" it)! It took her a few days to pick one up when we first started seeing them. She wanted to but unfortunately she has inherited my fear of bugs and creepy crawlies! It's so much fun seeing things through a child's eyes. She gets so excited when we see a caterpillar or ladybug or butterfly! Brittany caught a butterfly on Sunday. I told her it was not a good idea to do that because their wings are very delicate but it flew away and seemed okay (maybe it flew off somewhere and had a heart attack but I hope not!).

Having a small child let's you kind of re-experience your own childhood. I love blowing bubbles, kicking a ball around the yard, swinging on her swingset. I WISH I could ride in her Barbie Bug!

They did not have cool stuff like that when I was her age but I did have a Big Wheel! Remember those? Man we wore ours OUT. We would race them around the huge parking lot at Ascension Catholic Church and the old lady who lived next to it (Mrs. Gentz) would come and tell us to get out of HER parking lot.

She was the one we thought was a witch cos' bats flew in and out of her chimney and we would stalk her on her way to the store. She always wore black. She would keep all balls, frisbees etc. that made their unfortunate way into her yard. I think most neighborhoods had an old curmudgeon like her.
