I realized that Haridas really needs to be in nature more. Today we went on an hour walk to Onomea Bay, which is part of the botanical gardens on the scenic route. We spent over 2 hours there and he had so much fun. When we are just hanging around the house all day, he starts to ask for a change in not the most pleasant way. When we are in nature, there is no conflict or boredom whatsoever. Another contributing factor is that all of his kiddy play friends are off the island right now, and he has only been around adults for over 2 weeks now.
After a nice day at a beautiful nature spot, he seems so much happier. The nearby playground doesn't compare to the fun he had throwing rocks into the river, climbing on rocks and watching the waves. Nature is so humbling and welcoming, integrating and connecting within the soul! I plan on going to this bay everyday, weather permitting, since I need to walk as much as possible right now to make sure the baby is in a good position before it gets too big to move. I hope to see a very happy little boy after several days full of nature time. :sigh:
