Gardening with a toddler is a lesson in patience. It took us nearly 2 hours to plant 8 more rows but we mostly had a great time. Carter loves helping and planting potatoes was right up her alley. Carrots and beets weren't so good since the seeds are so small and the beans she kept trying to eat or hide. It was really windy on Sunday, so I wrapped a bandana around her head to keep her hair off her face and surprisingly she wore it most all the morning. Her very favorite part about gardening (besides running off with the seeds and planting or hiding them, depending on how you look at it) was finding worms! She brought a whole pocket full of them into the house on Friday and I only have found 2 so far. I'm hoping they just got ate in the washing machine.
Carter gathered up a bucket full of worms and was washing them off and giving them a 'drink' in the mud puddles. She carried one around in her pocket for an hour before noticing that it went to umm, sleep, and needed to go home. I realize one of the goals of gardening is to get more worms IN your garden, but she was really enjoying digging them up.

Carter looks adorable with the little bandana! Thanks for the offer...cooking, hopefully everything is okay though. I don't think I could stand bed rest or any level of activity limitations.
Precious!
Carter looks adorable in the bandana. She looks like and I know is such a little busy body in all the pictures. What a great helper!
CUTE bandana! Just looking your blog over, it occurred to me that my headline thing is the same as yours.....oh well, guess that great minds think alike!
