The kids get an anatomy lesson today, in the woods! My hubby shot and FOUND his deer today and EVERY kid in the house wanted in on the track and gutting of the deer. I am always looking for a way to teach my children life lessons and this provided the perfect opportunity.
I must say I was completely surprised by this and thought for sure they would all back down once we hit the quiet black that envelopes in the woods, but they didn't they pressed on. I was also surprised when the time came to gut the deer that they all stayed, mouths agape and questions flying! Not even the three year old backed down. I was also surprised that I remembered so much about the anatomy of a deer!
Today I took time out to enjoy the wonder and curiosity that is at the heart of a child's nature!
