Caterpillars

N was thrilled to make a huge boyish discovery on his swingset yesterday... a caterpillar. He was so proud and excited to show it to me, M, and the neighbors. He carried it around for about 30 minutes before he accidentally dropped it and the (probably) traumatized caterpillar scurried away. After many tears and a couple of minutes combing through the grass, I convinced him that he would find many more creatures this summer and promised that next time, we would put it in a jar. I am sure that this is just the beginning of my life as a boy's mommy with bugs and frogs and such!
