Nurture nature
My lil guy loves animals. I predicted this while still pregnant, decorating his room in a safari type theme. I even cut out & framed photos of animals from those free calendars i always seem to get in the mail year after year from Audubon and World Wildlife Refuge. I had every intention of rotating different animals in those frames but motherhood was busier than I'd anticipated.
I also framed one of the few decent artsy endeavors of my teenage years in high school art class: a camouflage inspired painting of a giraffe taking a drink of water with a small bird perched on its back. He's vaguely aware that his mom made this picture and I hope it remains untouched by little hands. Hmmm
Anyway,
the kid adores animals. In my futile attempts to keep my house organized, we even have specific bins and containers for all his animal figurines: sea creatures, reptiles & insects, dinosaurs, fantasy/cartoon/tv/movie/comic book characters, mammals: jungle, domestic, etc.
This only seems like a good idea. He prefers to mix the company of different critters and things get messy quickly.
He has animal atlases and brochures, charts, laminated cards with Latin names, folk & Aesop tales, Beatrix Potter, NatGeo Kids magazines -- you name it!
Not surprisingly, his favorite story from the Bible is Noah's ark.
I even have specific animal/nature apps on my iphone just for him.
He's always begging me to go to the zoo, the aquarium, the Audubon. I'm beginning to wonder if memberships would be the better investment for my nature lover? Nurture his love of nature by way of hands-on education and observation? We are fortunate enough to live nearby the beach and often explore the shoreline and tide pools. We have done geocaching and scavenger hunts for natural items like bird feathers, pinecones, and the like.
Since my Maryland days, I have been a member of the National Aquarium in Baltimore but have yet to take my boy there!
I'm always trying to think of ways to support his interest that won't break the bank. And also, not bore or overwhelm him..
Will he always be so fascinated by the wonders of friendly and not so friendly beasts? I wonder....

Gingerbread House
Every year (OK, maybe not the year I gave birth..busy doing baby things..) I like to bake gingerbread from scratch, make some cookies and build a house. I also make my own frosting which until this year I have yet to master as it almost always comes out lumpy & bumpy (helloooo sifter!) or tasting funky (cream of tartar)
Here is the house so far... roof to be added soon-soon.
