give it a chance


You know when they send your child home from school with a seed in a little cup that is a part of a lesson they are learning in class? Usually that little seed grows a little and then we forget about it after a week and it dies. Am I right? Well Brody was sent home a little cup with a sunflower seed and for some reason we really planted it and in a place with water and good sunlight. You know what happened? It grew and grew and grew into this beautiful sunflower. Can you believe how tall it is? What a great lesson for my little guy, he loved seeing the changes that happened every day and it finally opened up yesterday morning. So even though you have a lot going on and it's easy to leave that little cup and seed in the corner of your kitchen, take it out and plant it. Give it a chance and watch it grow!
