Earth Day was approaching and I was telling Tyler that we would have to sing “Happy Earth Day” (sung like Happy Birthday) to the earth. That got my thinking about birthday parties and so I thought - let’s have an Earth Day party!! And do we did. I had a lot of acitivites planned and in true toddler fashion, we didn’t get to them all. But we did go for a nature walk, make pinecone bird feeders for the birds to enjoy a treat, and of course had a cake with candles and all. It was a nice afternoon - Tyler was very excited by it and a few days later you can still hear Quinn singing “Happy Earth-day”. As the kids age, I am sure our celebrations will be a bit more earth-conscious (cleaning up iltter at a park, etc), but for now, just bringing awareness to Mother Earth and how we live in community with her is enough for a wee one. Here is some video of the kids singing….
