With the arrival of nice weather (finally!), we decided to turn my garden into a sandbox for Tyler. We had such a late, wet spring that I still hadn't gotten around to planting any vegetables. Since our monkey loves to play outside so much, it is now becoming a sandbox. We have mostly cleared out all of the weeds and the dirt must look so inviting to a two year old. Yesterday morning was beautiful and we were outside playing at about 9 am. Before I knew it, Tyler had climbed into the garden/sandbox and started digging.

Mommy, this is fun!
This amount of dirt required getting sprayed off with the freezing garden hose, but he didn't seem to mind. Of course, then a real shower was needed. That dirt was EVERYWHERE.
10 minutes later, the kid was out like a light... he slept for 3 hours.
Yeah sandbox!

The sleeping pose is priceless!!!
What an angel.
What you need is REAL sand of the beach; it cleans off much more easily than sticky garden dirt. How many pounds do you need? I will start digging downstairs if you want.
So no garden, no veggies this year? at least put a few pumpkin seeds in the ground and buy a tomato plant from the nursery + potted fresh herbs. Also teach Tyler the miracle of ugly brown seeds transforming into beautiful plants; he must have inherited some genes of my good peasant blood, you just have to nurture them. He is a happy kid!Nana
