Alexander has really been into bugs lately. After Fred the butterfly, he has been on a quest to find a pet that won't fly away. A few days ago a fly landed on his hand and crawled up and down his arms. "Look it is my new pet Fred-Up" Jason and I were both amazed that this fly, Fred-Up, stayed on Alexander for long. We began to think Alexander was the fly-whisperer. Finally, he had to push the fly off and it flew away.
The next day Alex found a rolley-polley bug. "Look it is my new pet his name is Fred-Down."
He is very creative with the names.
Last Wednesday while I was teaching dance the boys played at my mom's house. They love to help her water her lawn and flowers. After watering, Alexander found three new pet snails. Yes, they had to come home with us, after all they are his new pets. He loved to let the snails crawl all over his arms. It is pretty gross the line of slime they leave as they go. But he loves it!
He was a little upset that they could not eat lunch on the table with the rest of our family. (I have to draw a line somewhere.) The snails named, Ed, Ted and Clara Bell really enjoyed playing outside in the water. One had an unfortunate accident when he was thrown in the air a bit too high. The others crawled away in the night, probably to find Fred-Up, Fred-Down or maybe just Fred.
