My little guy has a new obsession - grasshoppers. He just can't get enough of them. Whenever he
spots one, his first words are "I want to touch it." Saturday after his nap, he and I went grasshopper hunting in our yard. We hit the
mother load. These poor green guys had no clue what hit them!

The kid talks to them as if they were soft, fluffy kitty-cats. "Oh, come here little grasshopper, you are so nice, I won't hurt you, I want to hold you."

Just imagine his excitement when this big
ol' hopper jumped right onto his ankle! He couldn't even believe it.

He told me that after all this work, he was hungry and was happy that the grasshopper jumped away to go find his dad, mom and brother.
