The Owl

Our 3 1/2 year old and I were laying on the front lawn the other night looking at stars. Suddenly, a big owl flew over, white or light gray in color, and I quickly pointed it out to him. He screamed from fear and I calmed him down. Owls are part of several books in his bedtime reading library and grandma has a plastic one in the back yard to keep certain critters away.

Well, the next night we were laying out again, and he wanted to see an owl. I told him it was probably a once in a while thing and that we wouldn't see any owls. But, it flew over again, this time right over our house. He was so excited he screamed again, then ran in and told mommy. What fun.
