Nature Walk--11/11

Every child will draw--he just may not use the medium you expect.





"Mama, is this a dandelion bush?"

No, but it seems to have seeds that blow in the air like dandelions. :)



"Here's something similar."



"Oh! Here's a real dandelion!"





Why sit on a hard park bench when you can lie on the soft grass beneath it?



He found this frog--part of the underside of a slide.
How long have we been playing here? Over a year!
There is always something new to discover. :)

  4. Homeschooled kids think so differently. Sitting under the bench, seeing the frog...I just love that. We homeschool too and I am constantly blessed by the things they say and see.

  5. Dandelion bush, how cute. I would have thought that too at his age. Oh, after your visit to the the Pow-Wow, we're gonna go this weekend. It'll tie in perfectly with some books on Thanksgiving. Coolest thing- living here in Va...we'll actually have tribes there whose ancestors were at the Jamestown landing.

  10. I love this....I loved that first thought "every child will draw...". It's so true. My boys are not crafty and resist drawing. I always try to encourage them and tell them that there is no wrong way to draw.

    What a fabulous day you must have had. Your son is adorable.
