Two year-olds - gotta love them - I think....

My two year old has been such a sweetheart - she mostly stays out of the garden beds, picks the ripe blueberries, knows the names of bugs, picks the flowers that grow in abundance and leaves the singletons alone, helped me plant the impatiens - she would sprinkle the right amount of fertilizer pellets in the hole, pull the plant out of the cell pack and put it in and pat the dirt around it.

Now it's that last leads to trouble - every day it's "let's plant some flowers Mommy," and I say, "no more flowers, honeybug, we planted them all."

So today suddenly she has a plant in her hand -"let's plant some flowers Mommy". And she's yanked up the zauschnerias and salvias I'd been rooting - the zauschnerias left all their roots behind. And she didn't want to help Mommy look for the cuttings in the grass.

Two IS my favorite age. In spite of it.
