Little Entomologist

Ever since she was little, Clara has been fascinated with bugs of all kinds. This morning she found another little specimen crawling across the floor and spent a long time picking him up, letting him crawl on her hand, on my hand, holding and examining him...

- the end result for whatever bug she's caught usually is not a very happy one, which I sometimes feel bad about, but mostly feel like they died for a good cause. I find it both funny and interesting that I posted about her fascination with these same stink bugs last January - head over to Stirrup to Stirrup to see what a difference a year has made! Watching that video is such a striking comparison to Clara's communication skills today! It is so fun to be able to hear how her mind is working.

One of her newest questions is, "What you thinking 'bout?" She asks both of us this question all the time these days! I guess she's curious about how our minds work too!
