Love Bug

Utah is finally warming up for Spring. We can hardly stand it. Abby and I have spent quite a bit of time soaking up the sun as she rides her "bike", "car", walking to the park to play, or just writing on the sidewalk with chalk. We are having the best time, EXCEPT, she is pre-occupied with bugs, i.e. bees, ants, rolly-pollys, box elder bugs.... really, anything that moves.

She is so preoccupied that if I tell her, "no, don't bring the bug in the house", she tells me, "NO!" Honestly, I wouldn't mind except for the bees and ants. They both can be very painful when angry. She hasn't gotten a bee yet, but come summer, we will have to have a talk.

As of yet, all the "bugs" have had an unfortunate ending. All have been smothered by her love. Today I noticed her kissing a dead, crushed ant.... Which reminds me of that old Bugs Bunny cartoon.... and I will love him, and hug him, and kiss him...
