Aaron Appleseed

My parent's are moving out to Denver in less than a month (hurray)! They are moving from a house built in 1972 which has full-grown apple trees just outside the back door. Every time we go visit them, the kids enjoy watching the birds that congregate around the trees. And of course, picking apples off the trees in Fall is a favorite. The house they are moving to is only 5 years old and is lacking anything near these mature trees and the habitat they've provided for the local birds.

For the last month or so my oldest son, Aaron, who just turned 6 last Saturday, has been collecting all the seeds from his apples and putting them in a little piece of pottery he made at school this year.

Earlier this week, I overheard him talking to a friend and share that he has been collecting the seeds so that Nana & Papa can plant apple trees at the new house because he knows they'll miss home with their apple trees and birds.

Now, isn't that incredibly thoughtful?
