While we were in Michigan, Jackson's Auntie Danielle and Uncle George got him a gift that he LOVED. It was a bucket o' ladybugs from the Royal Oak farmer's market. They were intended to be garden helpers...to eat the nasty lil critters that eat your flowers and plants. Jackson adores ladybugs and was simply thrilled to have an entire container of them! They were LOADS of them in that plastic container too.
I had asked him if he wanted to release some of the ladybugs at Grammy's house but he didn't want to. So we waited until we got home. We released a bunch of them on our tree out front that was being attacked by aphids and released a bunch throughout the flowers. Of course Jackson had to spend some quality time with them first. They crawled all over him and he smiled and cooed and chatted with them before they slowly either flew away or crawled onto the plants. It was so cute.
