A Home for the Worms

The other day Hannah received one of the best gifts (in her opinion) she has ever gotten. Hold on...it is spectacular. It was a worm! Not a real one (hallelujah!!) but a wiggly, squiggly, fishing kind of worm. It was black with a red undertone and she loved that worm. She played with it in the car, when we got home she rolled it around in the grass, fed it food, and even gave it a bath. She just adored the worm, until, well, until she placed it somewhere and couldn't remember where she put it. Then she just sat and whined that she had lost her worm. Her daddy and I were a little tired of the worm, we were secretly happy!! I still think he may have taken that stupid worm and thrown it away.

It was okay until bedtime came around and then she was crying for the worm, her "new worm" - "the best worm in the whole world!" Mommy just about couldn't take it any longer... she actually cried herself to sleep over that worm!

Thursday on the way to school I promised her I would get her another worm. It made her happy - I am a sucker for the four year old... just a sucker.

I went to the "worm store!" and although I could have bought just one - I decided to not tempt fate again and bought the TEXAS Collection - it was huge - and cheap!! Worms to last us a lifetime.

When she saw them, I became SUPER MOM!

She loves the whole bundle of worms now... thankfully I got a small box to keep them - she carries them all around the house, cuddles them, talks to them, she even set them up in her dollhouse - it is now a Home For Wayward Worms. They are quite cozy in there, see for yourself.

Here they are sunning themselves on the patio:

One of them is partial to the rocking chair... he just rocks and rocks all day!

And these worms are just plain lazy...sleeping on this bed...day and night!

And here is the baby of the bunch...all snug in her warm bassinet!

Stay tuned...my next post may just be about the six foot long black rubber snake that lives in the child's bathtub...

Living Happily In the Moment...and praying my daughter grows out of the love of slimy things! Bev
