We are taking baby steps here.  We used to walk so much when K/C were small.  We were always out and about and at the park (very much a nature park), so all the early learning nature stuff came pretty naturally.  

However, about the time I learned of Charlotte Mason, bought all of her books and wanted to build upon this concept, we had our next son (with challenges) and began our moving adventures.  We did keep on as best we could for awhile, but many things changed rapidly. 

So, now Em is 4 and already a computer bug.  Kiera is loving blogging, and Coleman, well, it's hard to get him off some screen...

So, I said to Emmy last week, "Hey Em, get your boots, we are going to go on a nature walk around our yard (2 acres)."    Without looking up, she answered with a somewhat belligerent tone, "I don't want a nature walk.  I'm not going!"  I was surprised, regained my composure and made myself more clear....   We went out and about the yard, seeing a wonderful show by the dragonflies and looking at everything with 'nature' eyes.  We kept it short.  She loved it.   The next afternoon, she said, "mom, I'm going to get some shoes.  Let's go on a nature walk!"      We have done a few more in the past week.  Just baby steppin' here .....
