On Sunday, Ella's bug catching ability was definitely underestimated by her aunt and uncle when she set out to capture a grasshopper at Grandma's. They deemed the task impossible, especially for a 5 year old girl. Those of little faith, if Ella sets out to catch a bug consider it caught. She gracefully accomplished the task in under 15 minutes, Gigi even joined in the fun and caught some interesting little flying bug also.
The next day, Elle decided it was time to free grasshopper, and opened the jar. And little grasshopper hopped out of the jar and then right on to Elle's face. She screamed half in horror half in surprise, and then the grasshopper hopped back to the ground and back in the jar. I guess we'll be keeping the bug a little bit longer, it seems the grasshopper has grown fond of its new jar-home and would like to stick around. Elle is a little concerned that grasshopper will not survive long in its new habitat, but so far her prayers for the little bug have been answered.
