Mommy's in the Garden

Yes, I took the photo in my garden last summer.

@Icydoll Thank you, I love gardening.

@jaboUK that's very beautiful

Yep, she's got her hands full

Yep, I suppose it was a bit of a nightmare - lol

So many funny things happened to kids back in the day @jaboUK but just look at us now, we're the toughies, those born after 1990 seem to be much more fragile.

@rebelann Yes, kids seem to be wrapped in cotton wool now, they don't get the rough and tumble we used to enjoy, cos they're stuck in front of computers.

@jaboUK I was sure. I am also waiting to see the garden in bloom. I feel that this year we have a late and slow Spring.

Mommy certainly did . Regarding the garden - I'm looking forward to it looking like that again in the summer.

Thanks on both counts Dianne. It will soon be time to start planting.

@DianneN My husband's doing pretty well, thanks Dianne. We get his results on Tuesday.

@jaboUK It will be a busy and rewarding time for you! How's your husband doing?

Yes, I spend a lot of time in the garden in spring and summer. It's bare at the moment.

@jaboUK

@jaboUK Still do

Oh yes, we get up to lots of mischief when we're children, don't we?

@sprite1950

My garden is still bare at the moment, but it's nice to look back on what it was like last year

He soon got over it

@jaboUK That's good.

Thanks Cindy, I do love bright colours in the garden.

@jaboUK So do I

But the child made the child cry in the first place

@VivaLaDani13 It was probably a mixture of both fixing and hiding

@jaboUK haha I know. Poor little baby. I just mean that the child was trying to fix the situation. Or maybe hide it lol I guess there is a difference between fixing it and hiding it.

Yes, it does go with the territory Siva. Thanks for liking the photo.

As long as they don't hurt themselves, things like this are ok and to be expected.

Thanks for that lovely comment, I appreciate it

@jaboUK Sure thing

@jaboUK yes called the doctor about it and he said make him vomit was all i could do. but still the kid had terrible "runs" all evening. you know diaharea

Oh my goodness, and 'later too' !! I can imagine

Yes, it's a different part of my garden. Since you are the 3rd person to ask, I will add that info

@jaboUK Thanks for letting us know.

@jaboUK It worked until they discovered the mirror I installed that enabled me to keep an eye on them while I'm in the kitchen and they were in the family room ..lol..

Did it always work? They'll still find ways toiget into mischief

You need a smile Marie, glad I could do that for you

@jaboUK I really did need to smile

I did - I won the cup for best garden 6 times, then they asked me not to enter any more

@jaboUK Congratulations and jubilations! You must have frustrated all your competitors. It's good that they've got a chance now. :-)

It's only a poem Marsha, but I've got the older child at about 10 - big enough to lift the baby out of the cot. Have you never gone out into your garden or onto the porch or chatted to a neighbour while your children were inside the house? I know I have.

@jaboUK My kids are three years apart and when the younger one was still a baby the older one took her out of the playpen and began running with her to where I was getting ready for work in the bedroom. THe baby slipped out of her hands and skidded across the carpet. She wasn't hurt, but was afraid of things until she got older. I was only home for six weeks with each child and I really don't remember having time to visit much back then. Plus we rented and I didn't buy as many flowers as I do now. I will go outside when I have things cooking on the stove and forget about it. I've done that to water my new flowers and then stayed outside to begin weeding. Nowadays I remember to set an alarm so I don't forget, or at least turn the burner down very low or completely off before heading outside.
