Bugs

studying some ants


Piper has a current fascination with bugs. She is deathly afraid of bees, which is a bad thing because right at our front door there are are lavendar plants you have to walk right past, and the bees love to congregate there. I have finally taught her that not all flying bugs are bees. Now when she sees a flying insect it is usually called a bee or a fly. She also pays very close attention to the ants on the ground. The neighbor boy at Grandma and Grandpa's house taught her to stomp on them. So we will observe her studying an ant on the ground, and then moments later watch her stomp vigorously on it.

Here are some of the insect books we have been reading.

Hippity Hop to the Easter Bunny

She loved the Easter Bunny when we were at the mall. She was waving and laughing at him when we first went up there. There was a group in front of us whose little girl was scared to death of him. I was really surprised that Piper decided she liked him so well. Even after her turn was over she was reaching out to him to pick her back up and playing with his eyes and nose.
