Farmer Kai

Recently, Little Einsteins aired an episode entitled "Farmer Annie". Ever since then, Kai has been running around the house with a bucket and shovel and pretending to plant his seeds. He will also repeat the four things a seed needs to grow: planting, rain, sunshine, and love. So, today we went to Home Depot to get Kai the essentials for his very first garden.


Most of you know that I don't do dirt. In fact, I have a black thumb with plants. So, we decided to do something basic. We got a smaller planter, some marigolds, and some soil that we decided could go next to our front door. Here are some fun shots of us starting Kai's garden.

Step 1: Put rocks in the bottom of the planter. (The man at Home Depot told me to do this since we didn't have holes in the bottom. Hopefully this will help collect some of the water.)

Step 2: Pour in the dirt--aka. play in dirt!

Step 3: Put in the flowers

Step 4: Water


Step 5: Give the flowers LOVE! (In the episode, the three little piggies teach the Little Einsteins how to grow the seeds. So, Kai insisted on having his piggy while giving love to his flowers. So cute! It's clutched in his little fist and hard to see, but it's there.)


Kai talking about his garden. I don't know what he says at the end, but when we watched the video together, he apparently did. It has something to do with love according to him.




Kai's love dance for the flowers. And just in case you were wondering, I have no idea what he says at the end!
