How do you enjoy nature with your non-ambulatory child?
Growing up, exploring woods or rivers was one of the most magical parts of childhood. I want to expose my son as much as possible, but since he can't sit or stand, his exposure has been limited. He's three.
I'm curious for people's personal experiences or ideas- I've thought of dressing him in thick clothing so he can crawl, which isn't ideal in summer, and of course just taking him for an easy hike in his stroller. Just curious if there are obvious things I haven't thought of!
My son is also at an under 1 year old level developmentally, so I'm not sure how much he WANTS to do these things. It's so difficult to figure out the balance of exposure vs. payoff. If we drive an hour for an outdoor experience that he's not interested in, it's torture rather than enriching, but he MIGHT be interested, so I feel like a lazy mom for not doing it!
I know no one can know what is right for us, just curious about what you've done :)
