Biophilia Vs. Ecophobia

Pip’s Little mermaid party pics from this past Sunday.
I may change the name of my blog. Ideally, I would have two blogs. But I haven’t the time to do 2 blogs justice. So, I may incorporate all my ideas into one blog, thus a name change. But rest assured, it will still be the same blog, just a new name. It’s all for the evolution of blogging.
I am going to rehearse my presentation in one moment while Pip watches Aladdin. We are filming tomorrow night. We have a lot on our plates the next few days. Mistaya is having three friends over to work on a science project and Tabitha’s invited one friend. I’m going to make some brown rice-crispy, chocolate peanut-butter squares for them after I rehearse. Mistaya got a part in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. She is a fairy. She is very excited about it. She has a Sweetheart Basketball tournament this weekend which will have her Granny hopping (Granny is babysitting while Peter and I fly to Vancouver on Friday). Pip has a birthday party to attend on Saturday and her big sis Tabitha will escort her to that.
A novel idea about teaching environmental science to children. We discussed this in class, after a group presented on the topic. Biophilia vs Ecophobia. Teach children to love nature first and foremost. Have them just be in nature. Leave any stats and save-the-planet stuff for their teen years. All kids need is to develop a personal love of nature–in their own backyard.
