My daughter never gets squeamish about holding earthworms. She doesn't usually like bugs, but worms are another story. However, one day I dug up a nightcrawler and she refused to hold it. Apparently a worm by another name is not a worm. Come to think of it, the name nightcrawler does sound a bit creepy...
My son refuses to hold any kind of worm. Wonder how long that phase will last? He is perfectly happy touching the pretty apple blossoms, though.

My daughter has never had an issue with any type of creepy crawly, but she also loves her flowers.
Great pictures!
my kids are fascinated with both
Sweet pic
Cute gardeners you have.
That is too funny! My son would totally go for the worm first...then the flowers....and PICK the flowers
I love children in the garden! They look at everything with such wonder:-)
My son will now "squish the bugs" (the grubs). His sister used to do it, but she's squeamish now, so it's his turn!
Great pictures! I spotted the daffodils and tulips in the background too. How lovely!
Bugs and creepy crawlers are cool. :-) My girls love catching all sorts of critters too.
Thanks for stopping by for WW! :-)
I love the role reversal - how cute! And what a beautiful garden!
Doubt the worm-aversion will last long with your son. All three of mine are pretty comfortable with things of the creepy crawly genus. Except for bees. #3 fears bees irrationally. Hopefully this won't last long either.
I love the serious expressions as they explore!
So cute! Ah, I remember the worms-and-flowers stage. It goes by so quick, lost to more mundane things ... :)
I don't blame her! Those are really long and they have those weird bands on them. Sick!
LOL that is too funny.
Precious! Yeah, nightcrawlers do sound worse than worms!!
Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog! :)
I don't blame them...ewww! :P
What beautiful kids you have. You also take amazing pictures! Just beautiful.
love the pics!
Beautiful photos! I'm on your son's side. I won't touch a worm. Never have and never will.
