His fascination for this creature was amazing, he has no fear just curiosity about this lively spider. We even put some leaf inside for him to nibble!
I did become a little concerned when I later spotted the said container upside down on the side with the air holes covered. I quickly righted it and went about my jobs.
It was time to go out, poor Raffi was unaware he was going to the doctors for 2 vaccinations. He happily got ready to go out (which is highly unusual) I had told him that we would be visiting the supermarket and I would be buying something nice for him. Little did he know of what was to come.
Raphael and I waited a good 40 minutes in the GP surgery amongst the cutest of babies....all waiting for the same thing! When it was our turn, the nurse was lovely, Raffi flinched only slightly and never made a murmur during his jabs. He did inform me afterwards "the nurse hurt me" and I have to say he was a little grumpy going round the supermarket, but that was understandable but I had promised him something nice.
Nightmare time when we arrived home, bad news, the young spider had passed away. Raffi was distraught and cried his little heart out. Nothing would console him. The dead spider lay in a ball on the floor. Raffi had taken the lid off and he had fallen out.
I whisked him away, and disposed of him compassionately. The only thing I could do for the poor boy was to remind him how lucky we were that we had taken photographs. He liked that idea and relaxed after that.
I think the trauma of the immunisations and the loss of his spider were very big things to him in his short little life. It made me sad that he was so sad about his loss.
I hope tomorrow will be a better day for him, we won't be catching bugs that's for sure!
It was fun seeing your son enjoying find out about bugs.
