This is Matthew.
This is Wooly Bear.
See him in the back of the truck?
Makes me think of "The Mouse and the Motorcycle."
Especially when he is reaching his head up over
the cab of the truck as far as he can.
He really does seem to be enjoying himself.
For a boy who didn't really want to touch
the wooly worm...
he sure has changed his mind.
Wooly Bear is now hanging out with a stick
and some water in our butterfly farm net.
Matthew is determined to keep him as his pet.
And when I start to protest and his big blue eyes
start to tear up...
well, I am deemed completely helpless.
So...congratulate me!
I am now the proud owner of a Wooly Bear.
Enjoying the tenderheartedness of my little boy,
