Bats and Bugs

After breakfast yesterday morning, Rafe and I went to Cory's new office to help him hang pictures and take his new refrigerator. Thankfully Rafe is computer-friendly because we ended up being there a lot longer than we anticipated!! Rafe was very happy to play on Cory's computer and then enjoyed carrying all of the boxes to the dumpster. For being such a good helper Cory bought Rafe the Batman outfit for his Build-A-Bear. We could not get home fast enough to rip the Buzz Lightyear outfit off of him and put the new Batman outfit on. It is too cute!
When we got home from church this morning, Pop and Gram brought Rafe another surprise: a praying mantis. Before Rafe would touch it he had to put on his "bug" t-shirt that LuLu gave him. We put it in his critter box and then collected sticks and leaves for his new "pet". Rafe was a little hesitant about touching the praying mantis and normally he is not. In Charleston he would pick lizards up by their tail and think nothing of it. I think they have bitten him so many times that he "grabs" with caution now. By the way, we think the praying mantis is really partial to Cory. (the one in our family that is not really an animal lover!) It jumps right to him if his fingers are near!
