Tomboy & Bug Catcher Extrodinaire

Snakes, snails, and puppy dog tails... supposedly that's what little boys are made of, but Kylee definitely has a place in her heart for these things. In fact, the only things she seems like more than those are trucks, creepy crawly bugs, and her daddy.

This afternoon about a billion rolly pollies emerged from the crack between the house and the porch where the dog house used to be. Usually I'm pretty ok with creepy crawly bugs (rolley pollies, ladybugs, june bugs, etc). It's the slimy suckers that freak me out. However, I must admit I was pretty creeped out by this massive pack of pill bugs. Kylee, on the other hand, was in heaven. She immediately grabbed her bug box and went to work collecting. I'm actually quite amazed at how fast she can pick up bugs and that she can do so without squishing them. I'm also impressed with her rapidly growing bug knowledge. She knows the difference between a bug and a spider. She can say both words and knows that we aren't allowed to touch spiders. She also knows what "ant bugs" and mosquitoes are. She knows that they both bite and that we stomp ants and squash mosquitoes.
