My Worm

We got to learn all about worms at the library today! Each of us kids got our own worm to look at up close with a magnifying glass, and boy was it dirty and squirmy! Worms have to mush their food in their mouths since they don't have any teeth, so we got to try that with an animal cracker to see what it was like. I have to say, teeth are good things to have!



Later she gave us each a container with dirt and some chopped lettuce and carrots so that we could take our worms home with us! I'm not sure why, but Mommy and Daddy decided mine should be released in the backyard. I tried to lobby for him to have our spare room, but I was outvoted 2-1. We forgot to name him before we let him go, but I love him and it's nice to know he's outside hanging around!
