shameless parental bragging

[gfrancie]

My son grew this. He was so tickled when I pointed this out to him. He planted the seeds, covered the seeds with dirt and then watered it on a regular basis. (He was a little too enthusiastic about watering so they may have had a bit too much water) We watched over several weeks as the seeds sprouted and grew leaves and now flowers have blossomed. Not even two and a veteran gardener!



Hey let's run around like a crazy person while Mummy attempts to take a picture.


Excuse me while I attempt to put the cap back on the lens.


And now I shall woo you with my pretty eyes. (Note the slightly messy face. Apparently he was attempting to do a mask with leftover yogurt... or something.)

wow. you must be a great teacher!

Nah. This is one of those simple things you can do with little kids. I like to garden so I thought I would find him a project to do so that he could have fun as well.

Red with variegated foliage -- my favorite kind of nasturtium. :)

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It is such a great shade of red. So vivid.

form and function, what more could you want?

Oh, I feel a special connection with him now! The first things I remember growing and planting were flowers just like that, out of a seed packet that was labeled "First Garden for Children" or something similar. It was a very exciting summer. Very good work by the little dude.

I hope we can expand into a few other things next year. Maybe we will plant a whole load of nasturtiums. He really likes to help out. I think we will also do peas. (his favorite snack in the garden)
My Mom did the same thing with us. It is such a great rewarding task.

He really does have beautiful big brown eyes! No wonder he's such a hit with the ladies.

This is how he gets free things and his own way.

The simplest things you show kids are the best,no?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

They are. Plus he seems to be fascinated by the things that Mr. Jenner and I are interested in.

lovely work!

and also - did his gramma knit that coat for him?


no I'm not knitting obsessed or anything.

Re: lovely work!

His Nana knit that. A good portion of things his Grandma knit for him are probably on display at the Puyallup fair. Girl has to represent and all.

No. You don't have a problem. Not you. Never.

Your son has quite the pesto-colored thumb there.

Talented little beast isn't he
