I am 88 years old and find your blog most interesting!!! I now have a great grand daughter who will be 2 in December. She came with all my children and grandchildren for a week's reunion on the Oregon coast. She waded into the ocean with her sneakers on and had to be rescued. I have pictures of her eating dirt in her back yard, so you have to remember that children's personalities are very different. I had in spite of my mother's death when I was 4 and half months old unlimited time outdoors, remember picking wild flowers and eating beech nuts. My four kids were in the city in a fenced in back yard but we spent the summers on the Canadian shore where they had outdoor experiences that they loved. My childhood had skin infections that aren't even diagnosed these days as well as every childhood disease. I suffered styes, boils, carbuncles because the level of cleanliness was low. Took baths in a tin tub on the kitchen table and used out houses, not bathrooms. You have introduced a level of cleanliness which is wonderful but your daughter likes that too much to be enamoured of dirt ! She can get interested in bugs, birds, water, rocks, the whole earth is hers to explore. Your enthusiasm will allow her to love this earth and it's wonders. Don't despair.
