Redondo Mom: The Boy Belongs in the Garden
Redondo Mom: The Boy Belongs in the Garden
Toddlers know how to shovel dirt, and that flowers aren't for eating.

Routines are crucial to a toddler's development. Toddlers THRIVE on
routine, especially in a familiar environment (home). We all like to feel
safe and loved (my husband slept with his baby pillow until a few months
ago when I held it up and said, "It's time to let go"). Toddlers feel this
way when you read them their favorite book and tuck them into their own
beds to sleep.
Speaking of bed, my flower bed just told me that it feels neglected and
wants to schedule a counseling session (freekin' LA... who doesn't go to
counseling here?!). I know my husband watered the yard, but I don't think
he spent too much time worrying about my plants (mon petit amis) as I do.
I also know that I forget to record television shows for him when he is
away, so it evens out somehow. All my flowers need dead-heading, my
tomatoes need new fences (you would think I gave them steroids), my
vegetables need spraying (organic rosemary, garlic mix) and the whole
place needs weeding. How in the world do I do all this with a toddler?
Easy, I do it all the time.
Like every geeky Mom, I like to make ordinary daily activities fun
learning experiences. Our children love to be outside (unless you are
Colin Craven), and we can parlay that love into a green thumb. Redondo
Beach is a terrific place to have a garden, as the climate provides an
ideal setting for most plants (well... we can't grow good coffee here) to
thrive. I have had terrific success this year with my plants and
vegetables, and I can thank my toddler for helping me till the soil and
water the roots.
