Little Gardener

Ava loves her watering can. She proves to me day after day that it's the simple things that can hold her attention for the longest stretches. I picked up this watering can at Target this week and it's been so fun watching Ava learn how to use it and explore how it works. I like that it teaches her about taking care of plants and how we need to help them grow sometimes.

This morning we were down in the courtyard for an hour, just filling up the watering can over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... you get the gist.

she's very serious about her gardening ;)

Then she realized that she needed some watering too!

So she watered herself for a while while Scott and Kekoa and I observed in delight.

When she was good and soaked there were some yawns and signals that it was nap time. We headed up stairs, changed clothes and hit the crib for a 2.5 hour nap! I guess watering the plants tires a girl out ;)

Actually, she is cutting her 2 year molars. It looks like she is yawning in this pic, but she's just showing Scott her new teeth :)
