Sawyer's ladybug.
.
An unlikely name for a ladybug. But Sawyer grew very attached to the idea. Until Kiki derisively said,
"You can't call a ladybug Fluffy. Call him Spot."
So now he's Spot.
.
"Mom, do ladybugs die?" Sawyer asked.
"Well... everything dies."
.
"Can you spray some cod liver oil on him, so he'll grow big and strong?"
"I don't think he'd like that."
"Would he like ice cream?"
"You can give him a little bit"
.
About this time big brother and sister stepped in like they usually do.
"Sawyer, you know you're going to have to let your lady bug go, or he'll die. Tonight. You have FIVE HOURS."
"MOM, do I have to?"
"You can keep him 'til tomorrow, but then he'll want to be back out in the sunshine, where he lives."
"Can I keep him this day?"
"YES!"
.
"We're going to go watch a movie!" he said, and wondered down the stairs talking to his little bug friend. I went down a while later to see them both sitting on the couch.
Such a happy pair. What am I going to do tomorrow?!
