On one of our many trips to the new house this week, the kids were sitting watching the progress unfold in our newly dug basement. At one point, I looked over and saw Aeden. He was looking away from the hole, holding something up to his ear and focusing really hard! As I got closer, I could see it was a snail shell (I was relieved to learn it was empty as I am terrified of snails!) He switched ears a couple of times, his intense look never changing. One of the many times, my children have taught me.

I LOVE IT!! It's amazing how children "know" so much more than we do - and how ultimately we learn so much from them!
Afraid of snails???
You must love the header on my blog then!
Cute boy. Cute story.
Aeden is such a sweetie, how cute is that. I don't blame you for the whole snail thing. We had a little bit of a snail problem this year and for some reason they terrified me. It sounds silly, but I feel your pain!
