My kids (especially Cakes) are generally pretty fearless. They jump off of high things and horse around almost more than their poor mother's pregnant nerves can handle. But, they are scared of some things:
Houseflies (photo courtesy of QPM)...
Moths (photo courtesy of the University of Sydney)...
Finding Nemo ...
And, then there was the critter we found in our yard the other day that, surprisingly, didn't scare my cherubs to death:
We were outside after a spring rain, and one of these little guys crawled right over Cakes' flip-flopped feet and into a crevice near the sidewalk leading to our back porch. I expected mass hysteria on the part of the children; instead, they squatted down exclaiming about how small and cute it was, and then they proceeded to try to force-feed the poor critter dandelion greens until it managed to escape when the girls were distracted.

Hilarious, I love it! It's amazing the things they are afraid of and the things they find cute:)
LOL, I suppose lizards are less digesting than insects...
Only 29 days to go!!! Are you excited?
I can kind of understand. I mean, Bean and Cakes have been around four-footed creatures their whole lives. A lizard is more like a dog or cat than a fly or moth - right? ;)
