Light

Henry and I chased fireflies last night. At first I could tell that he wasn’t sure about the idea of bugs that light up. We stood there for a few minutes just pointing them out to each other. Then Wade caught one and Henry watched silently as it crawled over Wade’s fingers and up his arm and then flew away. Then we chased them for a while, until the mosquitoes got to be too much and we had to go in. As we walked in the door Henry said “Bugs with bottoms that light up. Huh? Let’s get them tomorrow again. I so excited.” And in the bath Henry asked me “Mama, do those light up bugs have batteries?”
