pansies and daffodils

Yellow, blue, navy blue, deep red... pansies of these color can be found in our garden. Each day, Hugo wants to water them. He can virtually spend over 30 minutes walking from the back of the garden to the front with a big bottle that serves for him as a watering can.
Every time he says: Mommy, need more water! Mommy pour water or Mommy, water daffodils!
It really looks lovely... a little boy carrying a 2-litter bottle trying to water plants-it makes my heart sink.

I try to use this time also to show him various bugs and insects or little animals like ladybirds or snails, which he finds very fascinating. He even attempts to touch them or catch them depending what we can observe. Our daily trips outside are a perfect opportunity for use to explore the neighborhood and to learn of course. Our neighbors are very often surprise to see us walking hand in hand talking to each other. Obviously, I do more of the talking, but Hugo tries to contribute whatever he can;) naming objects and animals like bicycles, motorbikes, chimneys, cars, dogs or cats is something that he does with ease;)
