dirt + trowels
Lately Ally has been helping us with our planting. Last Saturday, she helped rob get some dirt out of the wheelbarrow. She likes to break up the big clunks and sprinkle the dirt on the ground. Last night, she helped me transplant some stuff a friend from work gave me. We broke it up into littler groups and stuck them in pots. She kept stealing my garden trowel though. I'd set it down to grab a plant, and she'd take it before I even noticed. She wasn't satisfied with her little sand shovel. She tried taking the big shovel too, but it was too much for her. Then, she got mad because there were plants in her dirt, and she pulled a couple out so I had to plant them twice. She was filthy. But, All you have to do is sit her down with a pile of dirt and she's happy. (Don't sit next to her though... She likes to shovel into/onto people's laps)
