Before you build a raised garden, you should always let your kids play with the boards.
They can measure things,
and carry things,
And build a cool fort.

To answer your question, I’ve been learning that my 8 month old son still needs a 3rd naps. Two weeks of 4 to 5:30 a.m. wake up calls convinced me enough! LOL! :)
She is entirely right about it. I loved this guest post :)
Nice job, Emma! Looks like a lot of fun.
Very fun! Are the girls in matching dresses? :)
Yes – Hello Kitty dresses that Daddy brought back from a business trip. They wear those dresses whenever they are clean. Lily especially finds it hard to part with it long enough for me to wash hers…
My girls have no clue who Hello Kitty is, but that doesn’t stop them from adoring her!
Excellent post, Emma! (Can you ask your mom to elaborate on the raised garden? We’re thinking of doing one at our house!)
Nice guest post Emma!
Oh yes, and then you should let them play with any leftover items……
I absolutely agree! =)
Lovely creative, imaginative play with loose materials – my favorite!
Love Emma’s guest post! Is this her debut on Mama Smiles?
As guest poster, yes! She’s pretty excited about it =)
Looks like fun!
