Things My Child Does While Unsupervised

5.30.2012

A couple of weeks ago we bought O a plant of her very own to take care of but I'm beginning to think that this three year old was not up to the task.

Why you ask...


Well because while I was with the baby and Ben was in the shower she took a knife out of the drawer (don't worry - it was a butter knife) and cut her plant into teeny-tiny pieces.  Yeah, I don't think she'll be getting another plant for a while.

  2. Hilarious! Maybe this was her version of cutting her own hair? If so, I'm pretty sure you lucked out. ;)

  7. Oh no!! Total massacre!

    But it's not just your three year old - we've been trying to involve Joe in gardening, and teach him about taking care of "baby plants" but he can't tell the difference between "dead-heading," "harvesting," and "ripping plants to shreds." These are really pretty subtle distinctions, if you think about it.
