N Is For Nest

There was big doings in our house last night.  David brought a robins nest in for the girls to see!

They were completely in awe. 

"Mama!  The nest!" 

This simple nest being here has brought with it so many wonderful discussions.  Today we have chatted about why there were no birds in the nest, where they went and if they would be back.  We have chatted about what it would be like to live in a nest and be a bird.  We have examined the nest and noticed all the different things that the birds used to make it.  Which of course, caused the girls to mention one of the favorite books, The Best Nest.  We chatted about what kind of birds we would be.  Grace thought Emma would be a chickadee.  Somehow I think she is probably right!
