Madely, the Worm Whisperer and the Worm Eater

A couple nights ago Madeline announced that she will not longer go by Madeline, but that she is to be called, Madely (pronounced Natalie, with an M instead of an N).  When we actually started calling her Madely, she laughed and laughed and laughed.  Now she tells me that it's her silly name and that we can call her Madely when she's being silly.  I love it!!!  She's so funny.

I have dubbed Madeline the Worm Whisperer.  On a walk, Monday, Daddy told Madeline that if she picked up the worms that are alive on the sidewalk and placed them in the grass, they would live.  So, our walks now take much longer, as our sweet girl attempts to save every worm from a concrete death.  It's so sweet to watch how excited she is when she finds a live worm that she can save.  She usually shouts, "MOMMY, I found one!  I'm putting it in the grass".  You, of course, can imagine how devastated she was when Bobo made it to a worm before she did.  Unlike, Madeline, Bobo is not in the business of saving worms. . .he just likes to eat them.  GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are a couple pictures Roxann took of our Worm Whisperer.
