How Logan's Plants Grow...

So this was Logan's bedtime story last night that Kurt read to him. Logan and Kurt came down to the stairs to show me the hand motions -- Logan thought it was hilarious! Even more fun was when I went into his room to get him out of his crib and he was still doing the movements. As he was playing this morning, I decided to video some of it. He has been in a pretty silly mood this morning.

Let’s Plant a Garden

By Lorena Moody

Lorena Moody, “Let’s Plant a Garden,” Friend, May 2008, 36

Today, let’s plant a garden!
(Make a digging motion with your hands.)

Come, let’s get the seeds.
(Put one hand palm up and pretend to pick up seeds with the other hand.)

Push them in the dark earth.
(Take each seed from palm-up hand and poke it in the ground.)

Pull out all the weeds.
(With hand pull up weeds from the ground.)

Look, the seeds are sprouting.
(Point to the floor. Place hand behind horizontal arm and move straight fingers up.)

Green leaves in a row.
(Hold hands and fingers straight up with thumbs next to each other to form a row.)

The Lord sends sun and water.
(Form a circle with arms and hands. Then make a sprinkling motion with wriggling fingers.)

Watch our garden grow!
(Put hand behind horizontal arm and move straight fingers up.)
