Caterpillar

Wednesday we were taking a stroll through the yard when Paul came across this..... beauty.


Now, maybe some of you don't know about my dislike of worms, slugs, grubs, and general aversion to anything slimy or with more than four legs. But I hate them. So imagine my reaction when Nathan takes an interest in the thing.

Actually, I was a good Mommy, and I didn't react. I told Paul that I will try not to teach our kids my quirks by observation. I will control myself in the presence of worms, frogs, and other nasties.... As long as no one shoves it in my face. Like Paul loves doing. Grr.
But seriously, I was choking back the gag reflex as I took these pictures. Especially when he got a little squeezie with it.

*Shudder.*
