Ladybug

This was maybe the first time where I laughed so hard while Mady was crying.  This evening Mady found a ladybug crawling on her chair outside.  She was AMAZED!  She's seen them before and knew what it was, but even so,  it was the coolest thing in the world to her.  Over and over she kept saying "adybug!"  as she followed it all around.

She watched it crawl all over her chair until she couldn't find it anymore.  Turns out, while she had her hand on the chair the ladybug decided to crawl onto her hand.  I thought she would love this, so I told her it was on her hand.  She looked down and when she saw the ladybug it was a look of terror.  She instantly swatted the poor thing off of her hand and started screaming bloody murder!!  She was terrified that this ladybug had found its way on her hand and all her mommy could do was laugh.  I wish I would have caught this on camera.  It was definitely worthy of America's Funniest Home Videos.  Unfortunately, I got no picture of her after the discovery either :(

Nick came outside and was so confused as to why I was laughing while Mady was crying her little eyes out.  No worries guys, she was back at watching the ladybug within minutes.  The ladybug luckily survived and went on her own business.
