How to catch a butterfly

First, find a moth. They look just like butterflies, particularly to a 22-month-old. Hold out your hands, and be sure to greet it so it knows you're friendly. "Hi bubba-fwy" worked well for our bug.

Hold very, very still, and don't poke it when it starts to crawl up your arm. God made butterflies for us to look at, not to poke. Be sure to giggle when it tickles your hand. Moths--I mean butterflies--like making kids laugh.

When you're all done looking at your butterfly, tell it bye-bye, and let it go. It probably has other kids to go visit. Or clothes to go eat.

  2. Just a little ol' Canon PowerShot. Nothing fancy. It's hard to take a bad picture when your kids are this cute :)
    On these pics, I did some post-editing--turned down the saturation to give it a softer look.
