The Ladybug Adventure

Adam discovered a ladybug in our flower bed yesterday. He was so enthralled and quickly became obsessed with finding more once that one flew away. Unfortunately we weren't able to find another one until we walked to the store this morning. So again, the wonder and amazement returned to his eyes as we looked at the ladybug. Then the poor bug fell from my finger onto the sidewalk. As soon as that bug hit the pavement, my sweet son stood up as fast as he could and stomped on that beautiful bug. I gasped in horror as my son looked at me puzzled as to why I was so horrified. I guess this is one of the not so joys of being a mother of boys. My new mission is to teach my loving son that there are some creatures that should not be squashed.
