Lightning bugs ranked up there with butterflies and minnows for entertainment over the summer, and I enjoyed them as much as Will did. We had an abundance of them all through the fields and in the front yard. I guess it was the perfect habitat. It was hard while school was still in session though because the lightning bugs didn't come out until bedtime. Since school started so early in the morning I couldn't let him stay up very often to catch any during the week. That was another huge challenge in kindergarten was getting Will up and out the door so early. We had to leave the house by 7:35 at the latest, which meant I had to wake him at 6:30. My son is not an early riser and he's not a morning person either so I dreaded every morning. It's horrible to have to wake your soundly sleeping child and make him get up and ready to go to school all day, and it makes it even worse knowing he dislikes being there. I really will not miss that school system!
