Inch by inch, row by row

Malcolm was recently introduced to earthworms, and he loves them so much that he begs us to dig for them. He carries them around very gently, and has never squished one. He is so excited when we find one, and immediately picks it up, once holding four at a time. He gives the worms royal treatment, blows them kisses, gives them little pats on their backs, and even pretends to feed them.
