Pool Time!

Playing in our little pool...what fun! The children began making "grass soup" after a splash or two. Shrieks abounded when a beetle fell from the tree into the water...
It crawled on Chayce's back, and Zach WOULD NOT help her get it off. He'd get within a few inches, then back up & say, "I can't do this! What if it bites me?" So, I reminded him that if it were a biting beetle, it'd going after Chayce's back...he considered this for a moment, and backed away with a "better her than me!" expression. I mentioned to him that he is the big brother, and helping Chayce out would be the kind thing to do. Note: This was a harmless beetle, I would not have let this episode take so long had it been dangerous!
