Creepy Crawlies
The boys go on bug hunts each and every day. Ethan especially enjoys this! Lincoln calls any kind of bug or spider a “dee!” It’s cute to here his excited little voice saying, “Dee!… dee!… dee!…” (Incidentally he uses the same word to say “airplane.”)
Bug hunting
Ethan with some “baby flies” …MAGGOTS! Gross! He found them in the water near the woods. I have to remind him every day that bugs must stay outside! Just when I was telling myself that this is “just a phase,” “he’ll get over it,” he shared with me his desire to hunt for snakes!
Oh, and when we were in the pet store the other day, you know what he begged for? No, not a nice fluffy puppy… A plastic bag full of lively crickets!
Boys…
So this is what I have to look forward too…yikes!
You can get cheap crickets at the bait shops. They don’t make the best pets if you have snakes, though. Kind of an either-or situation. Can you litter box train a snake? That way Ethan could get one and have it sleep on the foot of his bed at night. How adorable would that be?
