Cuddle Bug

We've had all sorts of summer time learning today, even though it was Sunday.  Daniel, yesterday, noticed the air pocket inside the egg shell after he had helped make breakfast and wanted to know why it was there.  Today he wanted to know if the developing chick breathed that air.  We did some research on that because I didn't know.  And now I do.


Fiona, this evening, saw a bee drop a larva.  Whether the larva was a bee larva or going to be food for a bee larva we don't know.  But to Fiona, it was a baby bee and she was going to adopt it.  She decided to feed it "Bee Formula" on a toothpick instead of a tiny, bee larva-sized baby bottle.  Oh, you don't know what Bee Formula is? Honey. From the honey bear. Brilliant.  And the larva actually ate it.  Fiona and Daniel were cooing over the little larva until Fiona put it in a jar lid and promptly forgot all about it.  She doesn't practice attachment parenting.  It'll be dead by morning.  Never mind, it already is.
