The tale of Ezra verses the ladybug.







It started out innocently enough... A ladybug lit on my hand (perhaps thinking that my nails were its friends). I thought that it would be fun to let Ezra play with it (under my close supervision of course). Ezra was fascinated by its fast movement crawling up his arm and around his fingers. He tried to eat it a couple of times, but I stopped him in the nick of time. We put the ladybug on his head and he smiled as it tickled him. I put it back on his hand and in a second, Ezra had put the bug in his mouth. I was freaking out, and desperately trying to dig the poor little ladybug out of his mouth. We could tell he was more than a little surprised that something was crawling around inside his mouth. I finally retrieved the ladybug and then Ezra started to cry. I think he was just very worried by the whole situation including the fact that Mommy was freaking out. Thank goodness ladybugs aren't poisonous!
