The Rise and Fall of Worm

Olivia was playing in her sandbox today and found a worm. She immediately fell in love. I'm not sure how well he liked it but who knows. He was repeatedly hugged and kissed and got to be stretched and squeezed in some grubby little hands. Olivia gets excited a lot and she will point and scream at things like "Truck" or "Dora." Well, she would yell at the worm but it came out like "Moon." We kept trying to correct that but that's what she wanted to call it. She thought it would do tricks so she told it to "Speak," but it didn't. No doggie treat for you Mr. Worm. The family decided to go on a walk and Olivia insisted on bringing it along. So there she was running up and down the sidewalk carrying this worm giggling and laughing the whole way. Zach just sat in his stroller and watched her.

After we got around the block and back home we saw that the worm had expired. I'm not sure what happened to him but I think Elena took care of disposing of the body.

We watched National Treasure the other day. It was entertaining and I liked it. No Indiana Jones for certain but OK. I was hoping that it would end differently.
