Caleb and I made our first mudpie on Friday. That's right. I waited until he is almost 4. Well, the kid has hated to be dirty until about now. I nearly died when he got tired of offering me bites on the spade and reached in and grabbed a handful. YES! I finally have a "dirty" boy!! We made this one for Daddy. Caleb said it was his birthday cake. So when he came out to take our pic, we sang Happy Birthday and Dad blew out the candle (the wood stick). He was really distressed when the bug he was trying to feed the "pie" would not stay put and eat! Then he tried to kill it. I have a hard time explaining why I kill bugs immediately and without reserve in the house, but I insist he leave them alone outside. I just said, "this is his house. We only kill them when they come in our house." That's valid, right?

OK, you can come over and make mud pies with Noah. That is sooo not my thing. Since you're so experienced now, I will pass that on to your expertise!
Yes - your reasoning for killing bugs inside the house is absolutely valid!
