When my brother Jaedin was little, he not only LOVED bugs, reptiles, and amphibians, but he also had an amazing ability to find them literally anywhere we went. I will never forget the time we went to an elegant wedding and he walked up to our table with a baby frog that he found among the fancy landscaping. I am thankful that he was always putting snakes, toads, spiders and other critters in my face, because it prepared me for my own son who has recently started doing the exact same thing!
I have been doing a lot of yard work lately... and every single day, without fail, Shepherd finds an earthworm, ladybug, beetle or caterpillar that completely fascinates him. This is a photo I took on Saturday that captures his personality perfectly and makes me smile every time I see it. As you can see, he has an earthworm in his hand. He carried that worm around for over an hour, and also took him for a stroll through our neighbor's sprinkler! He cracks me up! I love my little wild child.
Yep! Sounds SOOOOO familiar! :)
