Bug Boy

I use to be a bug loving girl. I played with frogs and worms and newts. I liked bugs. However, somewhere along the way not only did I stop loving them, but I actually became afraid of most of these creatures. My three year old however, is not afraid, but rather fascinated by bugs. He spends countless hours searching for them and examining them and treating them as long lost friends. As his fascination increases, my fears are slowly dissipating and I've found myself holding spiders and potato bugs as I did many years ago. Don't get me wrong, they are still not welcomed guests in my house, but I do enjoy seeing them through his eyes.
