Aiden's new friend


While swimming with his cousins he found a grasshopper that
landed in the pool he brought it to me and it looked like one of his legs broke so he decided to nurture it so he made this little home.....
He carried the grasshopper everywhere he even put him next to him while he was eating lunch. He soon moved it to a new home in a carton with holes I kept telling him he probably needs to go home but he wouldn't let him out until the next morning.
He decided to go hunting for another one this kept him and cousins entertained for hours. They finally found a baby one but then Mason got a hold of it and the next
thing i knew i saw grasshopper guts on the cement. Yep he stepped on it. Aiden found another baby one this time Mason held it too tight and squished his leg ......we finally got smart and didn't let Mason hold them anymore....and of course he didn't like that decision.
Aiden was so cute with his grasshopper we had to do a lot of errands that day and he brought it with us everywhere except when we had to go in somewhere he found a shady spot and would leave the container there until we got back. He finally let it go at the end of the day.
