#GS3 showed me his toy tractor. He objected when I called the driver aR farmer. #GS4 was quiet, but stared intently at Grandpa.
Today, #sonTwo and I briefly talked about him getting a place outside the municipal boundaries, so they can have farm animals.
Network congestion was an issue today, so images were pixelated during most of our half hour call.

A very good idea to find a place where the kids may have more contact with animals and nature/farming. Watching my 8 years old nephew and 2 years old niece who have been around animals and farming their whole life, they're visibly different than the city kids or children that spend most of their times indoor or in "paved environments". Body coordination is far better, movement more secure, their attention span far longer than that of the other kids. Also, the natural environment is more stimulating to them, so they ask many questions about how the world works and is "stuffed with", learn more, are more interested, and above all, show a far greater interest and goodwill towards the world at large and people, animals, and plants in particular. They experience that the world is full of beauty (which is something kids crave to absorb), and so they'll show more ability to care for this world that they learnt to appreciate.
