Sorry the picture quality is so rough. Alex asked that I take a picture of her with the giant wad of Tippy fur. It's like she's holding a kitten. Bleh.

Fun Time With Daddy
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, except to say that the poor quality is probably on purpose so I couldn't really tell what was going on.

Well, I have no idea why this picture loaded sideways, but oh well. You get the idea. Alex and I were also digging for worms when we weren't terrorizing shield bugs and eating onion grass. Here she is proudly showing me a clump of dirt that may or may not contain worms. She has recently decided that big worms are yucky but little worms are ok. 
Alex and I spent a few hours outside this afternoon, and we decided that it was a good day to find something edible in the yard. As she has mostly given up eating inedible things, we focused on the onion grass. She liked it a lot, and chewed her way through a whole clump. And probably is making her room smell like onions while she sleeps. Yummy.
While grazing on onion grass, I discovered a green shield bug. We're working on Alex's creature handling skills, so I gave it to her. She was exceedingly gentle, even when picking it up between two fingers, and she informed me that it was tickling her. Luckily, this tickling bug didn't end up like the last one (squished) but instead spent a few minutes crawling all over her hands. Here she is pointing to it, in case I forgot what I was taking a picture of, I guess. I'm sure if I could have gotten a closer picture of the bug's face, you'd see a slightly horrified look.
Again, here's Alex being a good bug handler. I can proudly say that the end of this insect adventure was not gory. The shield bug flew off into the afternoon sun, and Alex say goodbye. (She also said goodbye to the onion grass. I can't remember for sure, but I'd bet she told it to have a nice day too. She's very polite to non-human living things.)
