When we first bought our garden cottage i imagined spending all our time outside with our kids. We would grow vegetables, plant exotic plants and explore all the wildlife. In reality, the garden runs pretty low on my list of priorities. I have definitely fallen behind in my yard maintenance since Nolan was born and the garden is angry!! I don't get to do any of the fun stuff until i clean out all the weeds and grass that have made themselves a little too cozy in my garden beds. It's a constant battle though, one i had pretty much given up on fighting. But i still really want that vegetable garden, and a place for Nolan to play.
Today we had a surprise sunny day and i figured the time had come to share gardening with my son and wage the war on my garden invaders. I started him out in the baby jail which i set up right in the middle of the yard.
It didn't take him too long to figure out how to break out of that and he was off scooting around the yard. I tried teaching him how to pull out crab grass but he was more interested in eating rocks.
And yes, he is still booty scooting all over the place. This is what his booty looked like after 2 hours of outside time.
He loved it in the garden, and despite the rock eating he did pretty well. I think we will try to make this a regular weekly activity...my yard could sure use it, although Nolan might run out of pants.
