Doing Our Part.....


We have been having some talks about taking care of the earth and environment lately around the McBrayer household. Well....that would be environmental talk on a two year old's level....things like, "Flush once to help save the earth!" We are also trying to stress the importance of taking 1 paper towel to dry hands, rather than 40!
We are doing things on a smaller scale to help instill these ideas in Kaelan's brain. With that in mind, we decided to spend Earth Day Weekend working with a crew cleaning our neighborhood. We did this as a family, and we were very proud of Kaelan's hard work and dedication. She picked up trash, cleaned pool furniture, raked out new mulch for the playground and helped with sanitizing the playground equipment....all this before noon! Later that evening, we read a book about taking care of the earth, and when Kaelan saw the kids in the book picking up trash, she was happy to say that she did that too!
Don't worry, there is no electric car or biodome in our future, but we are doing our part in a few small ways.
