Ants Are Our Friends

Unfortunately, I didn't think to grab my camera, but just moments ago, I went into the kitchen to find Gordon, laying on his tummy on the floor. "Hi little buddy!" he was saying. I asked him what he was doing, and he said, "I just looking at a bee-u-fee-ful ant, Mommy." Hmmm--makes me re-evaluate my disgust with our little intruders...slightly. :) His loving outlook makes me a bit more fond of the tiny rascals.

Gordy loves ladybugs (as shown on his sleeve in the photo), ants, "buff-a-flies," and "cat-a-pillars," but is quick to point out, "I no like spiders--they scary." (That's my influence there, on the spiders).



Creatures big and tiny, Gordy has an appreciation for them all. We're hoping for nice weather next week so we can spend an afternoon at the zoo. It's been too long since we hung out with the penguins, tigers, and monkeys.....!
