Caterpillar & Bugs in Coffee

Veronica loves painting and drawing. Here are a couple of photos of her making a caterpillar with glue and paper. The other photo is of her and her BFF, Lana, playing with bugs in coffee grounds. I am very very glad she's not one of those toddlers that tends to stick things in her mouth. Usually, when she finds something unusual, she picks it up and brings it to me with a look on her face that either says, "What is this?" or "Yuck, I'm pretty sure this is garbage." She's also mastered throwing things away in the kitchen garbage can even though: (1) sometimes it's not trash that she throws in there, and (2) she has yet to master using her foot to open the lid (granted, this skill is fairly advanced) so she uses her hands, which totally grosses Mommy out *sigh*. Baby steps, right? (You can click on the photos to enlarge them.)
