Once a week, we water the veggies in the tunnel together.
"I want to go with you [to top up the watering can] because the praying mantis' eyes are scary."
"Can I touch the broccoli?"
"Mm! I like veggies!"
She was pleasantly surprised to find a little head of cauliflower growing. The faster-growing ones had been ravaged by slugs and snails, and she hoped aloud that the little cauliflower wouldn't get eaten.
In the evening, she got papa to go out into the tunnel to pick her some salad greens to go with her cottage pie. Extra veggies, something none of the other children have asked for.
Our little man received his first birthday party invitation from a classmate today. He was so pleased! It's a little sign that he's slowly but surely settling into primary school life.
It's Book Week next week, and Book Character Day next Friday. After lots of prodding and encouragement, the children have picked out who they want to go as. We've got a week to put together three costumes!
