Day 4: The Radishes Sprouted and She Screamed
The radishes sprouted on day 4. My daughter screamed. Then she checked them 20 more times.
The Moment
She ran into the kitchen at 7am. “MOM. MOM. COME LOOK.”
Two tiny green loops in the radish pot. She was right.
Her Reaction
Screaming. Jumping. Then she ran to tell her stuffed animals.
What She’s Watching Now
The sunflowers. Nothing yet. She checks every hour.
What I Learned
4 days is the perfect wait time for a 5-year-old. Any longer, and she’d lose interest.
What She Said
“I grewed these.” (Not “grew.” I didn’t correct her.)
What’s Next
Day 10. The sunflowers should sprout.
