Workout: lower body strength/abs/1 mile run
A few days ago on our daily walk I decided to incorporate some learning activities on our stroll to make it more fun. With there being so much plant life every few feet I started talking about the plants and how God made them all. I tried to sound excited, and I wanted Lyla to get really into it. To make it even more fun I decided to take pictures so we could print them and make a collage of all the neat plants God made.
Here was our first stop....the mini palm tree. I had to force her over to the tree. Then, she wouldn't look at me for a picture, and she threw a little tantrum. The "lesson" portion of our walk very quickly got thrown out the window.
The next day as we set out Lyla started doing her normal jumping around and picking at every rock, stick, and blade of grass that lay on the sidewalk. Then, she looks at me and says, "Hey mom, why don't we look at all the things God made?"
She noticed the bushes that God made.
And the beautiful grass, too!!
I couldn't believe how excited she was about finding all the things God made!! She had actually been listening the day before :) I'm also trying to teach her about our communities' ecosystem and how different it is from where we used to live. Now when we go outside she is ALWAYS looking for things God made. Occasionally she will point things out that aren't correct, such as, a house or a car. But she is learning which is really cool!
