Not a Serial Killer

Aid is a sweet kid.

I have been doing lots of gardening...weeding, planting, watering, etc. And Aid has been my little helper. I start a hole and he digs it out for me. I tell him where to water and he goes to town. It's an activity that we really enjoy doing together. Grant goes down for his nap and me and Aid head outside with our shovels. (and dinos who are buried in places around the yard)

The other day I was weeding a flower bed. He found a worm. "Look mom! He gasped as he put the worm on the shovel and held it up for me to see. "Nice Aid!"I responded.
Then he put the worm back into the dirt, while mumbling to himself...."We need to put the worm back into the hole so that it can go home and protect the babies. Be very gentle. Go worm. Go back to your babies.."

I teared up listening to him. I did not teach him this. We have had no conversations about worms or what we should do with them. He is just a sweet natured little thing. Even if he is a 3 year old.

One of the early signs of a troubled kid is how they treat animals....I continued to listen to him and thought, "Nope, definitely not ever going to be a serial killer."

My job here is done.

Kidding.
