Boys n Bugs

Spencer loves animals of any kind! Including bugs. He thinks it's so funny to grab my finger when he see's a fly, and will say "touch the fly finger mommy!" He giggles and thinks it's so funny when I get my finger close and the fly buzzes off. We have been trying to catch bugs in mason jars so he can see them flying around. If he see's ants crawling around, he'll get on his belly and touch them and just stare while they go about their business. Even spiders fascinate him, and he tries touching them before we squish 'em. We found a moth in the living room, and caught it in a jar for him. I asked him if he wanted to name it and he said "Barry". So, we had Barry the moth in a jar all day, and Spencer was enthralled! He would turn it upside down, and sideways, and then shake it if it wasn't flying around. Poor moth....Hopefully his love of all animals continues, even bugs, because that means when Daddy's at work he can squish 'em for me!
