Eliza learns many important lessons from her step-mom. Today, I taught her the complete rules of hop-scotch. You may have thought that every child knows the rules to hop-scotch, but you would be wrong. I realized today that I have been teaching her the importance in appreciating the finer things in life. For example, dishes. I overheard her telling her friend that these plates with the polka dots are her favorite plates of the ones that we have. I am proud to have a daughter that recognizes the thought that went into purchasing said plates. Now, this is an important one: I have taught Eliza the easy way to grow your own food. She now knows that there is no need to go through the trouble of planting seeds and then not seeing them grow (in our house that is). She is now well-prepared on leaving food in your fridge long enough to have them grow on their own. We will be planting these with our chives just to see what happens. If you already know what happens when you plant a garlic clove, don't spoil the surprise for me and keep it to yourself.
