The Ladybug Relocation

As I was watching Nathaniel's swim lesson, I noticed that he was swimming toward the wall with his instructor and something was in his hand. They had found a ladybug at the other end of the pool. Nathaniel told me the bug was treading water and they saved it. He asked if he could keep it at home, but I told him the ladybug wouldn't be happy inside. We finally settled on relocating it to our yard in a bush of Nathaniel's choosing. For a brief, scary moment the ladybug was dropped in my car, but we recovered him.

I love how sweet and gentle Nathaniel is, and how he wanted to take care of the bug. The ladybug rested on a kickboard until the swimming lesson was over and we got to take ladybug home.
