Michaela spotted this spider on her wall and was so happy to have it. She seemed to feel he came because he wanted to be friends with her. I agreed to catch it and put it in her bug jar, and after many squeals and shrieks (on my part) I did it! She held her bug jar with delight saying "my very first pet, it's my pet!" I wanted to remind her that we had bought her 2 gerbils, but she was just so happy! That was yesterday, and she still has that poor spider.Unfortunately she also has the habit of standing on our balcony, talking (yelling) to everyone and anyone who will listen, even if that person is on a balcony 2 buildings away. Well, yesterday she stood out there all day yelling to people about all the bugs we have in our house, "We have so many bugs, mommy caught one, look at my bug, spiders eat bugs.....etc...." Sigh.
So far we've seen one fly and one spider, but to a 3 years old that amounts to lots of bugs.....
I'm so embarrassed!

I thought of Michaela today as we went for a walk on a trail at Frontenac Provincial Park. We saw several snakes, from very little to very big. And some frogs, two live ones and one very dead one. And lots of other plant and animal life. I think Michaela would have loved it, although had she come along, I think we'd still be on that trail, making VERY slow progress as she would have wanted to stop and examine every single thing along the way! What a natural naturalist she is!
That's so funny! So far Jamie's just embarrased us with bottom-noises, and by fishing raisins out of the most peculiar places around the house and popping them in her mouth.
More to come, I know.
