Garbage Truck…

Tuesdays & Fridays morning are an extra special time for us. It is when the Garbage Truck comes. This is Little Dudes highlight for the morning. It means stopping whatever we are doing and running outside to watch them collect the trash can, dump garbage into the truck, and then press a button to make the door close and reopen trash free, and drive off. Thank you for beeping and waving. Who would have imagined the glory and excitement it would bring a 2 year- old. Thank you Garbage men and women for being the highlight of our day…

Most of all thank you for pointing out how wonderful it is to be a child and watching in amusement and anticipation your arrival. Sometimes as Mommy’s and Daddy’s I think we forget to stop and enjoy the process. We get so use to seeing things over and over that we forget to realize how fortunate we truly are. There is nothing in this world more beautiful then a child’s innocence and to watch them grow and experience the world in a different way. Slow down Mommy’s and Daddy’s and look around try to enjoy something different today…

Caterpillars’ & Cocoons…

We have been so excited to watch our Monarch Caterpillars eat all the leaves off the tops of our Milkweed plants.  We had 12 Caterpillars.  Little dude loves to go out and watch them.  However, today we went outside and saw that they were no longer on the Milkweed plant.  They have moved on…  Later that afternoon my hubby spotted a Cocoon.  We just spotted 1 of them.  It is fun to go out each day and check on it…

Explore nature.  Creatures and plants are changing all around us.  Share it with your little person.  Let them explore and learn first hand from nature.  You may learn something too…
