- Caleb rarely naps anymore as a nap results in hours spent awake at bedtime.
- The elimination of the pacifier for the littlest Guild went surprisingly well. There was crying and whimpering during the first two nights but after that... he is sleeping well and life is moving on.
- Jonathan's finger sucking time drew to a close as we decided to eliminate Caleb's pacifier. He tapes his first two fingers each night and has put away his blankie. In his words, "the blankie makes it too tempting to suck on my fingers." He, also, did much better than I thought he would.
We are gardening, again. This time I sought out a bit of advice from my Uncle Steve, who has tomatoes that anyone would be proud to claim. We built raised beds and started some (OK, way TOO many) seeds inside. After realizing that we have way, way too many "plants" indoors and that often seeds do better when just planted in the ground... we will approach things differently next year. However, our indoor extravaganza is doing well and we are looking forward to some good time spent in the dirt and playing with the hose this summer. :+)
Hee Hee... we have eighty little seed starters with plants in them. We realistically have room for about 20-25 plants.
Oh, such nostalgia about these plants. Would love for these gems to grow and flourish.
The children helped extensively with the seed distribution in the the little squares. It is recommended to have no more than two plants per square: we're averaging between 7 and 10 plants per square. So, we've been thinning.
