::fuzzy caterpillar follow up::

Today we met up with the fuzzy caterpillar friend again--or actually maybe it was our fuzzy guy's younger brother or cousin. Not sure. But he rode into the house on Sandy's shoulder and the boys were over the moon delighted with him. Untitled

He was running circles around Sandy's neck.   Mostly on his shirt, but sometimes on his neck meat too.

When he would hit a patch of skin, peals of squeaky giggles would fly. "He's sooooo tickly!!"


See his squeezed shut eyes and wide open mouth in this one? So cute.

After a few more circles I sent the boys and their friend outside. They carefully replaced him back where he was found. I'm glad my boys are so sweet and careful with nature.



And in other news yesterday Lucy decided she was ready to start rolling over for real. She can totally do it on purpose now--back to tummy. But every time she pulls it off she's still really surprised and proud. It's so cute when she smiles super big and is so pleased with herself.

I love her little skirt.  Dressing her is so dang fun for me.  And it's lovely that she's too young to have opinions about what she's wearing.

I should have been in bed two hours ago, but i'm working a line that I hate to put down at the moment. Lucky for me, though, because I got to see this tonight. I am so proud of the boys' ability to respect the small creatures that share their world - and more than that, to love them and delight in them. I think this is the way HF hoped things would go most of the time, and the way they haven't so much. But MY grandsons and sons join with the creator in that delight, and that makes me very happy.

I can see what Lucy is doing in one of those shots - both little legs just pumping in excitement, hands flailing. She is so in love with movement and life. And I don't see how her opinions could possibly contradict yours - the clothes are so sweet. I had so hoped this last baby would be a girl. I just knew you'd get such a kick out of dressing her. You never did dolls - but dressing children is a whole other ballgame, and I knew you'd love it.

You guys make me happy.
