note to self ... ben loves plants

this afternoon ben realized that the mothers day plant he had planted for me was sitting in the window and had died.

now ...

should one of our guppies die ... that "might" be purposefully ...

BUT ...

not ben's plant.

basically ...

moving and a sick (pregnant sick) mom don't mix well.

routines got disrupted ...

and the plant on the window wasn't one of the recipients of what little TLC i had to give.

we tried to "save it" - but we weren't very successful.

AND ...

today ben realized it.

AND ...

it was quite traumatic.

he cried ... and he cried ... and he cried.

he LOVES plants. he couldn't believe his plant had died. because he LOVES plants.

i felt bad that i had 1. let it get to that point and 2. not gotten rid of it before he realized it :)

BUT ...

i've learned my lesson.

ben loves plants and i will from this point forward pay GREAT attention to all plants that come my way.

i promised him that tomorrow we could go find another plant --
one that will actually survive our crazy life ;)
AND ...
HOPEFULLY ... because he LOVES plants so much ... he can learn to take care of it too ;)
