The girls and I were outside playing the other day when Addison discovered all the squirrels running around. She began to chase one after another all over the grass area behind our yard. Squirrel after squirrel would run from her to the nearest tree and disappear. Addison was circling each tree looking for the squirrels and trying to figure out where they had gone to. Knowing she wasn't going to actually catch one, I left her to run around while I helped Lorelei ride her bike. All of a sudden Addison screams, "I got him, Mommy! I got him!", as she came running from behind a big tree- dead squirrel in hand. Sweet little girl that she is, thought she actually succeeded in capturing a squirrel. How do you explain to a one year old that picking up a decaying squirrel off the ground is indeed different than actually catching one? ...Gross.
