Zander

Zander loves to pretend to put make up on in the mornings when I'm doing my own. I guess this is what you get when you're the oldest and have to stay at home with mom all day. He was really excited to paint his toes to match mine too.

 "Look mom, I'm cute!"

 Zander is a pansy when it comes to bugs (thanks to dad) he's fascinated by them, but is scared to touch them, so I've been trying to teach him that bugs are good outside and they won't hurt us...most of them. So whenever he finds an earth worm he has to grab his gloves before he picks it up. But he's getting there; he's becoming more and more brave about touching them after he's had a chance to look to at it and warm up to it first.

 This is a little green inch worm we found in our garden the other day when we were weeding.

 And this is a quail egg we found in our driveway that looked like an animal had gotten to it first. It was already cracked and yolk had spilled out of it. We love to watch the quails in our yard!

We woke up early one morning to find Zander in the kitchen with a knife cutting up all the bananas on the counter. He even managed to cut his finger.
