She swallowed the spider to catch the fly....

Evelyn ate a spider yesterday. Yes, a spider! Ok, we got it out before she swallowed it, but, ewwww!!! We were up in the playroom and a fairly small spider scampered across the carpet. Charlotte ran for the door and the dog decided to sniff it. She sniffed at it for awhile and decided it wasn't that intersting. Well, Evelyn decided to copy the dog. She got down in downward dog position and before I knew it, she had the spider in her mouth! I said, "Monte, I think she put it in her mouth!!!" He was frantically searching her mouth with his finger and sure enough, the spider was in there. This whole time, Charlotte was freaking out. The thought of anyone, especially her beloved sister, with a spider in their mouth was enough to put her over the edge. Daddy saved the day, phew. Little E sure gives us a run for our money!

Evelyn's my hero! Fearless, fun and not afraid of new delicacies.

I love this story! What a fantastic personality your little Evelyn has. I am 36 years old and don't know anyone else who had even tasted a spider. :0) Poor Charlotte, she has the good sense of a big sister to turn and run the other way when spiders lurk...
