New home in new construction by agricultural field = BUGS, BUGS, BUGS. We have so many crazy looking bugs that it makes my head spin. One night there was a bug in my shower that looked like it crawled out of a fossil in some "Bugs of Ancient Civilization" museum exhibit. I'll post a photo some day...if I get the nerve to even look at the picture again. Bugs just torture me because they make me angry...I think that if they aren't paying rent, they shouldn't be inside my house. Anyway, I usually make a big deal out of it when I see a bug...and when you ask Matthew "Where's the bug?", he gets all worked up. In his book about "toys", it has a picture of a bug...not sure why...and he likes to "get that bug" in the book. Here's a video:On another note, I have found youtube to be an awesome educational and motivational tool for Matthew. For example, when we look at his books about animals, then we can look up those animals on youtube and there is video of the actual animal making its actual sound! Pretty great! No matter how I try to "neigh" I can never get a horse sound right. Also, Matthew is still not interested in doing pat-a-cake or itsy bitsy spider with me. Once I start the song, he smiles and then immediately starts looking around the room for something better to do. However, today I looked up kids singing those songs on youtube, and the boy got excited and started clapping! Maybe he just doesn't like my singing?!?
