trimming my plants-toddler style

I was upstairs, putting Kai to bed when Landon comes running in "Mommy, come down here, I want to show you what I did-close your eyes!" Is anyone's spidersense tingling yet? I told him he had to wait until Kai went to bed. After a few minutes, I come out and once again he comes running -'cover your eyes mommy! Don't look!" Mind you, we are on the stairs. He leads me to my Aerogarden-it is full of beautiful cherry tomato plants that are full of baby tomatoes. We have trimmed the plants together before. He had taken scissors and trimmed them again for me. "Mommy, look what i did for you!" The carnage was amazing. Little tomato cuttings were everywhere. He was so proud of himself. He actually did a pretty good job. He didn't cut any one part tooooo short. He just cut off the really long parts that were hanging outside the heating lamps. Didn't even cut off any tomatoes. I'm so glad he didn't destroy the entire thing. I am so close to having ripe tomatoes.

Kai is pulling up and really crawling well. She can stand up if she has a little help with balance. She doesn't need to hold on, just lightly put her hand on something.

Landon visited Chad's school today to see if he likes it for next year. He did a great job and didn't want to leave when I picked him up. I think he will do well there next year.
