What a brilliant color green. This little guy decided to munch on my basil leaves one morning. Chris had gone outside for his morning ritual and began watering the herbs and potted plants and spotted the insect. He thought that he would use this opportunity to expand on a lesson that Jessie had recently learned about from reading with Daddy at night. They had read a book about camouflage. He brought her outside to see if she could find the little guy. By then he had moved over to the lantana plant and it took them a while to find him. Jessie was so excited and decided to name him Hoppy. It is so amazing to get to see the world through a child's eyes. I think that sometimes we get so caught up in our routines and forget to slow down and see the little things. I am glad that Hoppy was able to let our family share in a moment of learning. Thank you Hoppy. Thank you Chris for this wonderful photo.
