Peg

I love that Elliot is curious about and fascinated by nature. I have so many fond memories of learning about plants and animals from my dad. He was an Eagle scout and he knew a lot. I don't know as much as he did, but I love to learn especially along side Elliot. Our most recent lesson is currently living in our breakfast room.

This weekend we caught a praying mantis. Elliot named it Peg-Leg-a-Mantis. We spent a lot of time googling what Peg would like to eat, what kind of habitat he (Elliot assures me Peg is a boy) would like to live in, etc. We created a nice little home for Peg and have been catching crickets for him to eat. In two days he has eaten three crickets. Elliot is fascinated by every move Peg makes.
