Butterfly Girl and Tootsie Roll Boy

Butterfly Girl

*We were at the playground when we saw a butterfly land on the playground equipment. Leah, Hunter, and I cautiously approached so as not to frighten it away. Soon, we were standing right NEXT to it. Then Leah extended her hand, which I thought for certain would frighten it away. Nope. That butterfly stepped onto her hand, then proceeded to “give her kisses” (her words); it stayed on her hand for several minutes, all the while giving her kisses. (I think it was eating the remnants of the fruit strip she had just finished.) At some point, she was done holding it. I tried moving it to Hunter's hand since he wanted to “hold it”, but it decided it had had enough, and flew away. What a special moment!

Tootsie Roll Boy

*Hunter was tugging on my leg, pulling me over to the bay window in the kitchen, so I asked, “What are you doing?”
We're hiding,” he replied. He then proceeded to have me sit on the vent while he pulled his chair and the small table in front of us.
Who are we hiding from?” I asked.
The newt. You're Laffy Taffy and I'm a Tootsie Roll.” Hmmm, I guess the newt likes candy.
