Brooklynn & Rosie

Last Saturday we met the Deegans and Bronsons at the Butterfly Pavilion to see some creepy insects.  Our one and only goal was to get Brooklynn to hold Rosie the tarantula.  After checking out the Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches (ewww) and lots of huge spiders, Steve took her over to Rosie.  I was so nervous that she'd freak out and be forever scarred.  I remember taking Makenzie years ago and her witnessing a girl scream at the top of her lungs when they put Rosie in her hand and all the kids in the room bailed! 

I figured if she needed to see mommy do it first I would try to hide the fear (which you always have to do as a parent) and buck up to hold the man-eating disgusting thing!  But she was excited and did a great job - and I didn't have to hold Rosie!  Thank God! 

 So amazing!

So proud of you baby!  Maybe you can help mommy do it next time.
