Yesterday was so beautiful, we took the boys outside to play on the new play yard while I planted flowers. Middle kept running away, as usual, and finally I decided to corral him inside the bottom part of the playhouse. He was having a great time playing until he started coughing. I ran over there to see what was making him choke, and he reaches into his mouth and hands me something and as I look at it, I realize it's 1/2 the hard shell of a lady bug. At first I was disgusted, thinking I guess this is the first time he has tried to eat a bug. Then, he reaches back in his mouth, and hands me the rest of the half eaten bug that is trying to crawl out of his mouth. If you have never held a half eaten-slobbered-on ladybug, you just haven't lived. He just kept giggling because he thought it was hilarious the way the bug was tickling his tongue. Big, also thought it was hilarious, and said he was going to find more lady bugs to feed to his brother. Little, on the other hand, was not impressed and squealed every time Big tried to hand in a grasshopper that he found. At least one of my children has the good sense to not eat Random bugs. Then again, if I am ever caught out survivor style, I want Middle with me because he can catch a lady bug faster than you can snap your fingers.
