I had not even shown Katie the picture of Scott and the hummingbird, but the story was so fascinating to her that she went right out there the very next morning and sat patiently. She sat and sat and waited and waited with determination and excitement, with a true hope and belief that soon the hummingbird would land on her finger, just as it had her dad's. And sure enough- it did!! She came in giggling and giddy, saying how THAT was the most wonderful feeling she had ever felt. It tickled, she said and told how she had to do her best not to giggle while it sat perched on her finger. It was absolutely amazing to her.
She was proud, almost honored in a way because the hummingbird did come to her. Hunter and I just do not have the patience for it and even after we have sat for so long waiting, when one finally does come to the feeder, it is as though that is the moment we have to stretch or move in some way. So, hummingbirds have only come to perch on those who are patient enough to wait.
