This morning on the way to school, there was a tiny moth in the car. Emma freaked! I tried to calm her, but she was flipping out and I had to pull over. She has a tremendous phobia of any kind of bug! After I got the moth out, I was able to hug her and calm her down and the rest of the way to school I told her how that sweet little moth just wanted to show you his pretty new wings.
Tonight while I was making dinner a big moth was in the kitchen. Emma started to scream when Keith came in the kitchen and picked it up and said, "Look, he won't hurt you. He's tickling my fingers." Keith was holding one wing and that poor little moth was flapping the other as hard as he could to try and get away. He said, "Anybody want to touch it?" Ellie said, "I do! Oh, that tickles!" Then I said, "Let me! Oh, that does tickle!" Then Emma got up her nerve and touched it real quick like. She smiled and said, "I'm so brave mommy!" Keith even put the moth up to his eyelashes and gave it butterfly kisses. The girls thought that was hilarious. Then we all gave each other butterfly kisses. Touching that moth was a huge step for Emma. At dinner, that's all she talked about!
