Easter Bugs


Here is a little story from last month that I thought was worth sharing. Daisha is crawling all over now and getting into greater and greater trouble. There is a little beetle in Jamaica that they call "Easter bugs," and they come out for a short time every spring. Well, when we arrived back to Jamaica, they were everywhere and there is no way to keep them out of the house. They have an uncanny ability to find their way in the front door. As you might imagine, it wasn't too long until we caught Daisha sucking on her first Easter bug. We have pulled three out of her mouth now and we don't even want to the think about how many we didn't catch. At first we were a bit scared and then we realized that this certainly must be a part of the diet of every crawling Jamaican baby.

I know these bugs! They usually come out in the colder parts of the island, I remember seeing them in Mandeville and Claremont, and YES almost all baby taste one from time to time. Lol.
