Momma 'ook a pillar

So Bean has decided that he now likes bugs. He used to shriek and run at the mere sight of them. I have NO idea where he got that from. Ahem.

Apparently Bean has made a new guy friend (before all of his friends were girls, player in the making) at school. This little boy is obsessed with worms, creepy crawlies and all that jazz.

So of course so is Bean now. Saturday we were out in the yard and I hear " Momma 'ook a pillar."

And there was a nasty little furry catepillar. Shudder.

Bean decided to pick it up and make it his new best friend. He seriously played with that thing for hours. It rode on his 4 wheeler with him, walked around the yard on his arm, and rode on the lawnmower with Bean and Bud.

Poor catepillar was dropped several times. That is probably why it never scurried off when given the opportune moment. It was half dead.

Finally when Bean wasn't looking I made Bud put the thing on a tree. I had vision of Bean holding it too tightly and it getting squished.

Bean looked for that thing forever. I told him the pillar had to go home to his momma.

He was satisfied.

Bud said maybe Bean needs a friend, like a brother. I told him that a catepillar worked for now.

Check back tomorrow! I will post a SUPER embarrasing moment per Witchypoo's request.
