Cicada Summer

North has been thoroughly obsessed with finding and collecting cicada exoskeletons this summer.  And he's become freakishly good at it.  One day at preschool he and his classmates spent some time on the playground climbing around on a giant oak tree they call "mother tree".  That day alone North found about 35 cicada exoskeletons on "mother tree".  Here he is with the haul:


That night he said Lina (a classmate) was sad she hadn't found any and he wanted to find some to give her.  We spent a few minutes wandering around in our backyard woods and he found 5 for her.  He put them in a baggie and left them in her cubby for her.  So sweet.  And he's got the eyes of a hawk.  At least when it comes to bug exoskeletons.
