"They have TAILS! Little tails, Mommy!" Sophia says of her newly sprouted seedlings. We have planted sunflowers, snap peas and green beans. She loves to check her seeds about as frequently as I have the urge to go online. Which is several times a day. I'm trying to encourage her habit while discouraging mine!
This year we are creating a patio container garden using tips from this A&M booklet for container gardening in Texas. So far, I've started seedlings for lettuce, spinach, cherry tomatoes and radishes, in addition to Sophia's seeds.
Yesterday Sophia and I mixed dirt and filled pots. Finally, she got to plant two of her sunflower seedlings... it was the highlight of her day! That and playing with the pink plastic yard flamingo which she calls Humpty Dumpty.
In other news, Matthew has started talking on the phone. He puts Sophia's play phone up to his ear and makes grunting noises and ooohs. He's so deliberate about it and you can totally tell he's been watching Sophia because he also holds it flat and talks into the end (like Sophia does when Daddy is on speaker-phone). Hillarious! Also, for your enjoyment, below you'll also find a video of him dancing.... it's laugh-out-loud funny!!

Pictures
Until I can figure out how to sync Picasa and iPhoto, I shall just post my couple of cute pics here instead of creating a spiffy slideshow.
This is Matthew's favorite place in the kitchen. He digs around for scraps and dust bunnies under the dishwasher. Yummy. Makes me crazy, but it's pretty funny to watch!
A Quiet Moment. (Wait! Get the camera!!!)
The Sandwich Snitch
In case you have ever wondered what kids dream about, I have the answer!
Matthew and I have speculated when we hear Sophia crying in the middle of the night what she could possibly be upset about. She doesn't watch scary movies or shows (though for awhile she was afraid of "Swiper," the masked fox on Dora). Good grief! We don't even let her watch commercials during football... what in the world could she be crying about? Maybe we shouldn't have let her watch football... maybe she's dreaming of her friends throwing balls at her when she can't catch, running after her when she can't run because her shoes are on the wrong feet or something equally horrible and scary.
Maybe we've scarred her by not providing a night light in her room. Or perhaps she's crying because she can't find her blankie... it's lost in the sheets.
Well, this morning I decided to go in and ask Sophia why she was crying.
"Mommaaaa!" she sobbed, pointing toward MattMatt sleeping in his crib. "Matt-Matt took my sandwich!"
