Bugs....

How is it possible that my kids are scared of bugs? Selectively... I mean, that's what their dad does for work, he works with bugs. My kids have spent lots of time at his lab, studying the crickets in their cages, they chase around flying bugs in the yard with nets and Myra, upon finding a box elder bug in the house, made a little house for it on the end of her bed, complete with bread and water and a plethora of stuffed animals. Unfortunately it died. Myra then insisted on keeping it to give to her dad to study. And the craziest of all was when we had a worm compost and Myra had no problem holding tons of icky worms in her hands.
BUT.... If they see a teeny, tiny bug on their wall before bed time, it is the end of the world! Actually, it's debatable whether there really was a bug there at all, but bedtime last night was quite traumatic. Lots of crying and screaming. They finally fell asleep snuggled up to each other in Lexi's bed. I was sure one or both of them would be up during the night, but their terror must have exhausted them.

This morning, Myra informed us that the bug was actually a fairy, coming to see if their were any teeth under her pillow. =)

Myra's Routine

Every day Myra has a routine when we take her to school. She gets out of her seat and walks around the car giving a hug and a kiss to first Lexi, Noah and then me. Then she puts her backpack on and as she's getting out of the car, she says to Lexi, "Lexi, you be good today and listen to Mom." Then she jumps out of the car and heads into school. About halfway between the car and the school, she always turns around, waves and us and blows us a kiss or two. And then, she always touches her cheek. Yesterday, after she completed this routine, she unexpectedly ran back to the car. I rolled down the window to see what she needed and she said, "Mom, do you know why I always touch my cheek? Well, I always touch my cheek after you blow me a kiss because that's where I keep my special kisses, from you and Lexi. Then I can remember about them later." Then, with another I love you, she skipped off to school.

How did I end up with such a sweet child?
