We went to Ft. Smith last weekend to see Sesame Street Live. We left home as quickly as possible on Friday and headed straight for Ft. Smith. We met Jan and Grandma Voise for dinner at Varsity and then we all went to the show. In the way that only Caleb can, he took it all in. I honestly expected him to laugh, giggle, dance and sing all the way through. I should have known better. He sat in my lap and in Jan's and watched with wide eyes until it was almost over. He talked a little bit to the characters and pointed out some things to us and then eventually started to move to the music a little bit, but it took some encouraging. When it was over, he talked about it a lot and we got a note from his teacher on Monday saying that he talked about Elmo and Cookie Monster all day.
Apparently, this is the time of year for butterflies. At the entrance to our neighborhood, there are some bushes that are absolutely teeming with beautiful butterflies. We usually take a walk to see them in the evenings. Caleb has learned that when they aren't out and flying around, that means they are sleeping. He likes to shake the bushes to wake them up! He also knows now that bumblebees are "ouchy bugs" and we're not supposed to touch them. Let's just hope that he takes my word on that and doesn't try it out for himself. Taking him for that short walk in the evenings to experience one of God's most beautiful creatures is such a blessing that I enjoy thoroughly. I'll miss the butterflies when they are gone and I plan to plant some things next year to attract them to our house.
