ANTS

Kuba has a thing for ants. We had them in our house this spring and he has since become obsessed. At first he just watched them crawl. He then moved on to trying to pick them up and take them outside. He has since hardened his heart and has started to squash them. Yesterday we spotted an enormous pavement ant colony attempting to conquer a nearby colony. Thousands of battling ants. Kuba was mesmerized. He could not take his eyes off of them and repeatedly reached down to touch the pile of moving ant bodies...sometimes coming up with a finger full of ants that he quickly shook off.
Fun.
Really fun to watch him watch the ants.
I think life is one big science lesson with my boys.
