2 Girls and a worm...
This past weekend it was so nice and sunny outside. D was digging a "tunnel" in the yard and was bound and determined that it was going to end up on the other side of the privacy fence so he could spy on the neighbors. Well, I guess the digging looked fun, because the girls decided to join in. Everyone was having a fun time playing in the dirt. I had to open my mouth and say "Hey, there's a worm!" This was not a small worm, he was about 5 inches long. So the girls got antiquated with "him" and put him in a cup. They were holding him and showing him their sidewalk chalk, brought him in the house and he saw it all. They wanted to give him a bath, so I had to explain that he is an "earth" worm, not a "water" worm. He likes the dirt and that is how he lives.
Fast forward 2 hours... I was not feeling well... (I had the stomach bug that has been going around) and started to get sick. In between instances, I was sitting on the couch and could see into their bathroom that A was holding the cup the worm was in and was filling it with water. I asked M, "Where's the worm?" The response was, " We put him to bed." (thinking that they put him back in the yard, I said OK and sat with my eyes closed and tried not to be sick again) Then I asked, "Where'd you put him to bed at?" M shows me that he is lying on the pillow of the bed nicely covered with their baby blanket. "Ssshhh Mom, he's taking a nap!" The worm was in the bed, stretched out on the pillow, covered with the blanket taking a nap!
I love it that they have an imagination and I love it that both girls are interested in all kinds of animals and insects. They used to be scared of spiders and flies and worms... now, they like to "baby" them and play with such things. It is fun to watch them grow and to have stories like this to tell on them! :)
