Mr. Miyagi

Remember the scene in The Karate Kid where Mr. Miyagi is trying to use chopsticks to catch a fly, then Daniel walks in and catches it on his first try? Well, I have Tyler.

Over the last couple of weeks, I've watched him. He's usually standing at the backdoor or a window, watching outside (usually longing to BE outside) and with it being summer and since with 2 kids our house has turned into a barn, we have a LOT of flies. Those flies usually end up at the windows and backdoor too.

Tyler has, are you ready............killed at least 3 flies, with his hands. It's hilarious. He stands there, completely still (when else have you heard of this kid standing still?), and waits. He waits for the flies to land on the door, then slowly moves his hand up, and can kill them with the palm of his hand. Tonight he did it - with 2 fingers.

What a proud moment for his mother! I don't think they have that sticker for the baby books, do they? "Catches bugs with bare hands". Yuck!
