I love spring in the south. I especially love the days when there is no humidity, beautiful weather, and I can sit outside and watch Gavin's little red head bouncing around in the yard. He is always on a mission. There is always a bug, lizard, or frog that is desperate for Gavin to rescue. Outside are six "bug habitats." Not to mention the bug playground, bug net, and bug vacuum. Of course, one habitat is reserved for semi dead flies only. Everything must have it's place. Even in the world of bug catching!
Our days normally start off with a fight to get Gavin to eat the smallest of breakfast and then before I can get him to brush his teeth or put his clothes on for the day, he is out to see what nature has in store for him. His love for bugs and animals far exceeds a typical five year old boy.
(This week's fun catch is a baby lizard)
Gavin is a boy that LIVES for grubs, caterpillars, frogs, lizards, and any other creepy crawler. And I live to watch him do what he loves doing.
