Rachel and her bugs

When we first got Rachel we came up with the nickname "Bug".  After having her in our house I think bug is a great nickname for her.  While we were out doing the strawberry patch and the garden the last couple of days Rachel has been playing with all the bugs.  The first one she saw was a stink bug and she took her "feather" aka a weed and was poking it and laughing every time she touched it.  The next bug was this worm.

 She named it Slimey and she would laugh every time it moved in her hands.  She said it was tickling her fingers.  I was laughing so hard at her expressions and her laugh.

He was trying to get away as she put him down but she would pull him back out of the ground.

Our next bug she picked up was a potato bug.  She was screaming it was a spider until Scott went over and pushed on it and it curled up into a ball.  She said, "Oh it's not a spider."  Scott helped her to pick it up and she played with it.

 Crawling all over her arms.

 Trying to get it to stay on her finger.

Scott helping her to hold her hand out so it had something to walk on.
Scott and I left her to play with him and we went back to hauling dirt.  She ran over to the truck and said,  "oh no he's broken".  We both laughed because we knew she had probably squished him and he died.  Sorry nothing we can do to you help you now bug.  It's so funny because she can be such a girly girl but yet on the other hand she has some tom boy in her.  We will see which way she turns as she gets older.
