"Does a tree have a belly button?"

Last week Chicky wondered out loud, "Does a tree have a belly button?" The girls discussed this question and decided that they were uncertain as to the answer. We enabled the girls to go out and investigate, exploring the trees in our garden. The girls insisted on photographing a couple of their own belly buttons so that they knew what they were looking for. They soon found what they believe to be the 'trees belly button'.



Sydney shared a wonderful theory about the possibility of trees having belly buttons:


“Maybe...a tree has a bellybutton, just like we have a bellybutton because a tree is born out of a seed. The mommy tree, she drops her seed down if she wants to have a baby.”
