He was so excited!! This year he gets to tend and care for his own plant.

He picked a strawberry plant!

He planted his plant in a big pot.

His dad gave him a little shovel and he filled it himself.

Everyday he went out to check on it to see how it was doing.

A couple times he got himself in trouble because he was sneaking out of the house

and not telling Mom where he was off too – to check on the progress.

He would talk sweetly to his plant

Hey little strawberry plant how you doing today?

He told people he got a strawberry plant so that he could share with his family (so sweet!)

Then he got his first fully ripe strawberry and boy was that an exciting moment

After his picked is and we where heading into the house to wash it

He exclaimed

THANK YOU JESUS,  for my little strawberry!!

He washed it

He admired it’s wonderfulness

Then he bit it!

and gave each of us a little nibble too

It was a good strawberry ripped day.
