Of bugs and gardens.
Gwen has one thing in this world that terrifies her: BUGS. All bugs except for some reason butterflies. She has nightmares about them and wakes up screaming that they're crawling all over her. Even after watching Bugs Life a couple times, ants still make her freeze on the spot and scream for her life. She's confused that the nice ants on the show are blue and the ones outside are black. Crazy Pixar for not keeping the ants ant colored. To try to combat this fear and to try to get her to eat more veggies, I decided to start a garden this summer. We have no place for a garden so my mom agreed to let me plant one in her pet-free backyard. We have already started the seeds inside and they're slowly taking over my kitchen. We've even had our first encounter with a "Eeek, SNAKE!" "No, that's a worm friend Gwen. They eat dirt and make our garden grow bigger." "Oh, I will watch him eat his yummy dirt dinner . . . and he will not eat me . . . right?" Wish us luck. This adventure might just provide more nightmare fuel for her little imagination.

Oh, that's so cute! I love the things that come out of her mouth. Little kid nightmares are so funny, except in the middle of the night right? Gwen was sooo cute at the zoo. While we were waiting for the bird show to start she kept pretending that she was on a stage and was boogying like crazy to the music. Just thinking about it makes me want to smile. All the people around us were pointing her out and I could hear them saying how cute she was. She REALLY is.

...so cute! Kimmy had nightmares/night visions of cats when she was Gwen's age. She'd start screaming in the middle of the night and point out the "cats that were running around in her room."
Funny!
