Planted with Faith

When we go for a walk at a nearby university, Ellie loves to pick up treasures. Seeds fallen from trees are some of her favorites. As we have been learning about seeds in Science, she was very excited to try to plant some. One morning I agreed to help her give it a try, not really believing anything would come of it.

So up we went to the roof where our dead Christmas plant was still in it's pot. We uprooted it.

Then after mixing the dirt with water, Ellie lovingly planted three seeds. I think she might have soaked them overnight before doing this.

A few days later she went on the roof with our house helper to hang up the laundry and to water her beloved plant, and she ran back down SO excited. Her plant had grown!

 

And it just keeps growing. The other seeds have sprouted as well. :)
