Sprouts

Neko and my mom have been working on growing avacados. Or making the seeds sprout. Or the pits. Or whatever…I don’t know the correct terminology. Regardless, they’re doing that thing where you put an avacado seed in water and wait for it to sprout. And at some point you have an avacado plant.

My mom was over the other day and was happy to report that the seed had broken open and was sprouting, and that Neko should come down and check on the progress. We decided, for the first time, she could walk down the driveway all by herself. But she didn’t walk—she sprinted. She was so excited to be doing it all by herself. And when she came back, she had to immediately turn around and go back again on the premise that she had to “deliver Doot flowers” as she hastily grabbed for clover from the yard.

When I finally got her in the house, she was busting at the seams, telling Shep all about her trip down to Doot’s house and how she went all by herself, and that is what you get to do when are a BIG KID.
