At 22 months old, Brooklyn has a new pastime. She catches flies. They are her babies. I have no idea how she is so good at this, but she catches them regularly!
Here, she is scrunching up her shoulders and squealing with delight. :)
"Fy! Fy!" (She is like a delighted little Mama as she cares for her 'baby'.)
She often gives the fly a home and carries it around the house saying 'baby', and showing it to whoever will take the time to look.
Once I realize what she's busy with, we take it outside and 'let it go'. In the planter, of course, so she doesn't notice so easily that it's no longer moving. And then we wash our hands. :)

Ha ha, so gross and funny all at the same time! Madi has odd "baby" obsessions too.
I just have to remind myself that she has no idea what a fly is and how dirty it is. At least she thinks they are babies instead of something to eat! ;)
Haha- this is my favorite. She makes her big brother, Lucas so proud. The pictures captured it so well- scrunched shoulders and all. Darling!
hahaha. This made me so laugh. So gross and funny! My 6 year old used to play house with the resident caterpillars, swinging them and crying when they crawled off to hide. Kids are so funny!
This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It is SO gross, but she's so darned cute and happy about it that I can't help but laugh.
You have a daughter who catches flies, and I have a son who obsesses about flies and, if there's one in the house, cannot rest until he's killed it. I guess they wouldn't get along too well at this point. ;)
Great job! I love all the pictures - especially Brooklyn the fly-catching wonder. :)
