Always thinking of the bugs....Robby seems to have a love hate relationship with critters. He either wants to put them in his pockets or he is having nightmares about them crawling in his bed. This morning Robby came to me and said "mommy I needed to get this toilet paper " then he held up a handful of crumpled toilet paper "so I could get the bug so the spider wouldn't have so much work to do". huh????? was my reply as I was still working on my first cup of coffee and still trying to wake up from the pm cold medicine I had taken last night.So of course I asked him to explain how exactly he was "helping" the spider. Apparently he saw the bug and thought that he'd help out the "spiders of the world" because it is, after all their job to rid his bed of bugs (can you hear a mommy midnight "everything is OK go back to bed the spiders are our friends" talk in there somewhere???!!!) and he was going to "take care of this bug" so he could give the spiders a break from their "hard work"!!!!
Oh the mind of a little boy is such a wonderful thing! Do you think God made them that way so just when you think you might really lose it on them they say something so cute and amazing that you just melt all over again for them?
