Gardening by Sabrina

As usual we will wait for Sebastian to take his morning nap before going out to hang out the laundry. Even since that incident of "Locked out", I will get Sabrina to tag along when I hang out the laundry at the backyard. Today is no difference. As I hung out the laundry, she wanted to help me put on the clothes pegs. After putting on a few, she decided that she wanted to do some gardening. She knew that I will water the plants after hanging out the cloths so she kept playing with the hose which was at the side of the backyard.

After a while she abandoned that idea and walked round the garden pointing to all the pots of plants and started naming them all as trees, flowers and colour of the pots. Adrian had taken out one of the chilli plant and placed it outside on the ground instead of the growhouse as we felt that the plant might be dying. Our innovative Sabrina decided that she wanted to save the plant by........planting more branches. She found all those loose branches and started putting them into the pot of chilli plant. As she put, she commented that "It's a tree". I am not sure if I should laugh or faint or scold her. In the end I just let her plant all the branches as it's her attempt to "save the plant". Hahaha..

Shortly after that I started to water the plant. As she was really "hosed" by Adrian on Saturday when she was in the backyard playing with the bubble machine and Adrian was doing gardening, she tried as best as she could to stay far far away from the hose. Instead she passed me the laundry basket as she knew that I will wash it. She also passed me the styrofoam box that we used for gardening and get me to clean it. With that she decided she had enough and wanted to get back into the house. While all these are happening, our little Prince was happily sleeping in the room, oblivious to what was happening in the garden.

Today is Tuesday aka Pizza day. So Adrian bought a pizza back and after dinner, Sabrina continued with eating her cornflakes. She put the bowl of cornflakes on the floor and Sebastian saw it and wanted to grab the bowl. We asked Sabrina to give "Didi one cornflakes" and she happily obliged. She not only gave him one cornflake, she gave him a few more after he had finished his. When we asked her for some, she refused. I guess only Didi has that priviledge.
