We were playing outside yesterday afternoon and the girls discovered a grasshopper. Lexi is kind of afraid of bugs, but after I told her grasshoppers don't bite she had made a new friend. Ava on the other hand... she tried to smash it. So after many questions like what do they eat? Do they fly? Where are it's ears? they were content with just talking to the bug. Lexi even went inside to get a book and was "reading" to it. Then she called Benj at work just to tell him all about it. When it was time to go in she put rocks around it and said she would be back.
After dinner we went back outside to clean up and of course say goodnight to the grasshopper. Well, I made the mistake of touching it and it flew into the neighbors yard. Fearing that Lex would totally freak out, she suprised me and said, "I think it's going to go home to it's family." PHEW!
