worms

It's when we are outside that I see the boys' creativity and curiosity come to life. One day we spent HOURS digging up worms. Tiny little worms were hiding under the leaves, and the boys, especially Matix, were fascinated. After finding one, pulling it up, and laying it on the slide for closer inspection, Matix would talk to the worm, telling him all kinds of secrets. Those lucky worms. He watched them wriggle and move so carefully, like he was taking notes. He would gently put them back on the ground and start the search for another. I loved watching him this day.
