Okay, well not really here in Los Angeles… sunshine and 60 degree weather do not quite say “Christmas” to me… Not that I am complaining! I hear about the arctic weather back in Chicago, and I feel lucky to be trotting around in a cardigan, rather than a parka. (I have been pretty amused to see the locals dressing for this “winter” weather. Lots of puffy coats, lots of Uggs… I mean, come on people!)
Anyway, I’ve been reading a book called, “The Last Child in the Woods” which is all about the importance of nature and the outdoors for children. Living in a pretty urban setting, I’m not sure that Lincoln is getting the kind of idyllic self-directed interaction with the natural world that the book advocates, but I do try to make sure Lincoln gets some time outside every day.
Here are a few of our recent neighborhood walks…
we may not have snow, but at least we have leaves on the ground…
representing our Chicago Blackhawks out here in LA…
Merry Christmas?
