Our little hippie

So we just planted a garden in the backyard, it's all part of our eat better, be healthier crusade for 2010. Which we were already starting, and then Food Inc freaked us the fuck out, and now we're even more serious about it.

Back to the garden, Z was sooo helpful when we were planting said garden


Grabbing his little Bert and Ernie shovel and rake from Grandma and Grandpa to help plant the seeds :). Look what a good job he did!


And he LOVES to help water the garden with his little watering can :)


I really am glad he's involved, we want to show him that it's possible to be conscientious about what you eat, eat well, help the environment (we're composting), and be proud of your accomplishments. He was sooo excited when he saw the first little sprout had popped up, he said "WHOAAAA!!!" and gently petted it, hey, even the plants need a little love!
