GROSS COWS NURSE!

For science we are learning about:
Spiders and Insects
Birds
Fish
Reptiles and Amphibians
Mammals

We tied this in with

Wings, Legs, and Feet
Teeth and Beaks
Fur and Feather
Animal Adaptations

We made an Animal classification book and will end it with a trip to the ZOO!

When we talked about Mammals we talked about how mammals breast feed and come out of their mothers body not out of an egg.  I am open with my daughters about birth and I nurse my children so that is not weird for them.  But what was weird for my daughter is that Cows Nurse!?".........and she is udderly (lol) confused why their breast milk is ok for humans to drink?.....

Emmie also wants to know, "If dad has hair everywhere that makes him a mammal so why doesn't he breast feed since mammals breast feed?"

Who knew this was going to be a science lesson with so many questions?

YA!!!! Here are the details:  -Brad has had this tumor for a long time, something happened that weekend he had the bad headaches that caused the tumor to bleed.....that's why no one was sure if it was a brain bleed or tumor. -The pathologist at the hospital could not determine what it was so it was sent off to Cleveland clinic for another set of eyes. -The brain bleed is what was causing the headache and pain not...
