I almost forgot to post about our garden! In the spring Cutie Pie and Sweet Pea once again helped Hubby plant his salsa garden. We’ve been growing cucumbers, tomatoes and two kinds of peppers – jalapeno and sweet. About once or twice a week the boys have been checking on how things are growing, while their daddy checks on it every night! They delight in helping to water the veggies!
Not only was the process of planting the garden educational, but watching things grow has been too! I don’t mean in the traditional sense of learning patience or the life cycle of plants growing vegetables. It has renewed a spark in Cutie Pie to eat a balanced diet, something he learned about in prekindergarten!
We’ve had many discussions about what things are fruits or vegetables, how much you should put on your plate, how eating foods of different colors is good for you, and how some foods are ‘sometimes’ foods! We have this image from iMom printed out to remind us what amounts to put on our plates as well! We are so proud of Cutie Pie for helping to make sure we’re all eating well!
