Day Eight
Whilst we spent close to three weeks cooped up at home with a horrible gastro bug – that quite amazingly I managed not to get – the levels of boredom were high and patience very low. There are only so many activities you can do with kids that are miserable, cranky and suffering with severe gastro.
I had bought some Cress Seeds a while back and one morning after I had emptied an egg carton I figured that it was as good a time as any to get ‘Project Cress’ underway.
We simply soaked the cotton balls, popped them in the egg carton and sprinkled them with seeds – voila Project Cress was in progress.
I must admit that I was quite surprised by how quickly the little seeds shot up but I mostly surprised by Nate’s enthusiasm and constant requests to ‘look at my seeds’.
I recorded each day with a photo on Instagram, some days I took two because they were growing at a rate of knots that shocked me!
By Day Eight they were looking a little worse for wear so off to the bin they went.
Nate is eyeing off the egg carton in the fridge and dropping subtle hints about planting more seeds each day!
Cheap, Simple and best of all gave Nate something to look forward to each day!
Happy Thursday.
