Emmett will share fun facts or ask MANY questions about animals or nature. He enjoys going on walks, even when he’s not feeling like himself. From the source… Let’s let Emmett take the reins. “Nature? Um, the nature I like to pick flowers for Mom and I like to play in the morning. I like the nature at the zoo!”
There’s really a list of favorite animals! He gravitates towards great white sharks, lemon sharks, dogs, tigers, and many savanna/tropical animals. But hear it from the horse’s mouth! “My favorite animal is a hippopotamus because he has sharp teeth. Hippopotamus! They eat watermelons and… well I don’t know. How about they eat tomatoes and carrots? And they eat apples! They eat so much apples!”
Emmett loves to go fishing or take walks to the local park. Often times, he’ll keep an eye out for critters and learn how they survive and adapt to their environment. Most of all, he likes imitating animal behavior with his animal figurines in our backyard. Let’s hear it straight from the top… “I like to see and play with my Dad and my Mama. We play with animals (toys) and Mama and Dad play with sea creatures and take them a bath (water table).”
