"Ah, Spring!"

(Narrated by Charlie)
I love Spring, it means that Mom and Dad let me outside where there are so many awesome things to explore like garden tools, bugs, puddles and of course my favorite thing of all---dirt.

Here's me helping Dad to plant. My job is to shake all of the dirt off of the shovel or wipe it off on the front of my shirt. I also look out for interesting bugs that I can pick up and play with. Mom doesn't like me to put them in my mouth so please don't tell her that I think I may have eaten an ant on accident.

I also help with watering. I have a little trouble getting the water to come out in the right spot. I think it's much quicker to toss the whole can on top of the plant and let the water run out of the top.



All right, don't look too close...ok yeah maybe I ate some dirt. See...this patch of dirt looked different from what was in the front yard so I had to try some to check it out. Yup, same old taste. Shoot, mom's gonna kill me...

Charlie, I think you're a fabulous writer. Your story was very engorssing and similar to another little dirt-playing, puddle-stomping toddler I know. :0) You should be a communication major when you grow up!

Charlie, just wondering if you would like to come over and do some gardening...we hate doing it and you look quite experienced! You could probably teach Lincoln a thing or two...he hasn't tried dirt yet!
