Yesterday William caught a beautiful blue belly lizard. He handled it gently (after all these years), but I was still concerned that it might die from overhandling. It looked pregnant too. William asked if he could catch more lizards and I said no. I thought end of story.
But today, he asked again while holding a nice box set up as a lizard home. Concerned that he might hurt one accidentally, I encouraged him to go catch a bee.
"How do I do that Mom?"
I explained to him carefully and thought he would lose interest quickly.
Afterall, who actually catches bees?
The answer-- William. I kid you not. Just five minutes later he comes running in to show me that he caught a bee in a bottle. I could hardly believe it.

That is funny! One time at our friend's house who lives on a farm told Curtis to go catch a chicken and he did! It was hilarious!
Love it! (and glad no bee stings in the process:-)
Too cute!
Never, ever tell him to go play Tiddly Winks with manhole covers!
We caught bees all the time when I grew up. That was one of the best signs that summer was on it's way. We made holes on top of jelly jars, and kept them in there. Got stung a couple of times too, but it's a lot of learning in that :-)

The kids in my neighborhood catch bees all the time.
Too funny! I teach kindergarten and one of my little guys kept playing with his pocket. I asked him what he was doing and he said he had a pet bee in there. Much to my surprise, he did. Lucky he didn't get stung by his little pet bee!!
Just caught up on your latest happenings. Sounds like nice, family filled days.
HILARIOUS! I love it. :o)
Hi! It seems like William may be a vet when he gets older becareful of bee stings they can cause much pain.Happy hunting Pat
So, did the bee like his lizard house?
We used to catch bees all the time as kids. :D My dad actually had bee hives when I was a baby, but when I was about 8, I figured I could start my own by just catching a few bees . . . obviously that didn't work!
