Receive Text UpdatesFrankie likes walking in the woods with his dad and feeding the fish and turtles in our pond. He loves the mud, especially when it’s squishy, and he’s always digging holes to find bugs. He likes to look at their legs and stingers and figure out what they do. He’s also really good at scavenger hunts and always finds the best stuff first.
Frankie’s favorite animal is the skunk. He thinks they’re stinky and funny and loves that they spray when they’re mad. He says skunks don’t care what anybody thinks, which is exactly why he was one for Halloween last year!
Frankie’s happiest when his hands are muddy. He playing outside with his nana, exploring and being brave by trying fresh herbs in her garden! He digs, builds, and makes potions out of dirt, sticks, and sand. He loves searching for worms and pretending they’re his squiggly sidekicks. Sometimes he lines them up and names them. He’s always turning the outdoors into an adventure.
