ruthless carnivores need love, too

Have you seen this video of a shark gobbling a seal? (credit: Discovery Channel, Planet Earth) My son had a very interesting reaction to seeing an encore of footage on the Today Show yesterday. Sitting beside me on the sofa, he got very quiet, tears welling up in his eyes, and he said in the saddest, sweetest voice I have ever, ever heard:

"I think that shark just needs a little love." [insert sound of my heart cracking in half]

(I mean, never mind that poor, defenseless seal! Give that great white some love, already!!)

LOL! Wyatt loves sharks and thinks this shark is "playing" with the seal.
Oh man I love kids and the awesome stuff they come up with!

Oh, my. What a sweet little boy you have. I love how your blog captures his personality and your love for him. You're going to love having these word pictures of him as he grows up. Thanks for sharing!
