Planting/Digging With Caleb

I got this Rododendrun plant from a co-worker. She brought it into the office and it sat there, in water for about 2 weeks. I kept forgetting to bring it home, until they told me that it wouldn't root in water. You've got to put it in dirt before it dies. I brought it home so I could plant it on Friday. I just started to dig, when Caleb came over and said, he wanted to help. I gave him my pink gardening gloves and off he went. He loves helping out and being involved. After he finished digging the hole, we put the plant in it. He covered it all up and patted it all down, then watered it. Now that's it planted, hopefully it won't die.


Well, he didn't want to stop there. He had gloves and a shovel and he wanted to do more. I told him he could dig some holes a little bit further back in the yard, so he started digging up rocks. Then he found this really big one, that I didn't think he could dig up. Well...
He did. He was so proud that he got that thing out. He carried it around, put it in his dump truck, then he said he wanted to bring it to his Mommy and show her. We did put it in a bag for her, but I noticed today that it's still here, in a bag, in the dump truck:-) Oh well!
