(Took this last summer.)The most amazing thing just happened.
Wyatt was walking up the drive way. The girls were on the steps. I saw a beautiful black and blue butterfly land in the flowerbed. I pointed it out to the kids so they could see it before it flew away.
Wyatt said, " Nobody move." He tip toed over to it.
I said, "What are you doing? What are you going to do if you catch it?"
"I'm going to pick it up. Watch."
He stooped down, put his hand gently under the front of the butterfly, and picked it up. I couldn't believe my eyes. It stayed there for quite a long time. Then I ran to get my camera, and it flew away.
Then he said," That was a black tiger swallowtail butterfly. I know it was."
"I saw it's proboscis too."
Really? Where does he keep all this information? I love this about Wyatt. Tell him a fact, and he'll remember it!
