Today as we made lunch in the kitchen, I heard AG say, “He’s trying to get that bug!” I glanced at LB and figured he was finding a crumb on the floor… but no, that indeed was a dime-sized brown spider. LB had his super-concentrated “I’m going to eat this no matter what you say” look on his face that is typically reserved for electrical cords or door stops, and to my great dismay he was about an inch away from having a spider for lunch rather than applesauce. I pulled him away and smashed the spider, and in the amount of time it took me to grab a paper towel he let out his excited attack grunt and was back in a flash!

It is moments like this that give me a glimmer of the boy he will be – and it is frightening! Thank goodness AG is a good little overbearing older sister and helps me keep an eye on what he is ingesting!

But then again, maybe he’s on to something… If we had to chase down our food we’d probably be healthier!
