Now that Gordy is "a big kid" he frequently helps me out with the compost. We sift through it to separate out the stuff that needs a bit more time to decompose from the composted material which we load into buckets and then distribute on the garden. Gloves are mandatory for me, but Gordy always ends up taking his off so that can "use his hands better". And, while playing in the muck is fun, we have to be very mindful of what's in our hands because almost every time we compost, we come across at least one centipede. Our best plan of attack is usually for me to watch the thing while Gordy grabs the snippers. We find it, snip it, toss it in the driveway, and then Gordy gets to have a turn with the snippers to make sure it's life is over. The whole thing is very exciting for him and he always ends up showing off the centipede remains to our neighbors, Todd, and anyone else who will listen to him.
