Round three for "The Apprentice"..

Like this one Sandra lol,he is such a happy chappie & seems he is keen to learn..bet your getting him trained so he will do your garden when he is older..you have been caught out now..lol.

Thanks Joanella..he loves being outside..so might as well encourage him..I can't wait till he can have his own bit of garden,or a pot :o)I hope he grows up to love gardening ..

Did Thomas pat the water very hard ... many times? ... Children always seem to do that ... love the expression in the last pic ... priceless! :o)))

Well you are going the right way about it.My son has given up part of their garden to my granddaughter age 10 she comes to rhs shows with us (buys more plants than me ) & on the allotment..i have always taught her what bit i know..she is growing toms,pumpkin,peas,cucumbers & lots of flowers..good job as her mum & dad are not real gardeners..so keep up the good work with little Thomas..:o)

that is lovely

we used to give the children small buckets [eg sand castle type] and an old wide paint brush ~ they spent hours painting the slabs ~ all free, harmless and clean ~ but fun! perhaps thomas would need one of those aprons too??!!

Aah, he's gorgeous. Kids just love water don't they?

He certainly did,Shirley..they just love water,don't they?
It was a lovely warm afternoon,so left him to it !.The little monster can now reach door handles..found him stood in the wardrobe..and had been in a drawer of mine..he prefers my stuff on the floor,apparently ! Lol.
That is great for her,Joanella..and she sounds to be doing a great job..Thomas's mum and dad aren't into gardening either..I think they always remember what they did with their Grandparents,and we hope it always stay's with them..
Thank you,Sticki..that is a great idea..will get something sorted..as you say,an apron would be good ..and I can wear a Cagoule ! Lol.

or a wet suit!!!

Thank you,Sheilah..they certainly do..:o)
That doesn't sound a bad idea,Sticki..as long as no one takes a photo! Lol.

i hate having my photo taken but i see thomas doesnt mind!!

He'll be planting nasturtium seeds by next year! Isn't he great?

Sticki, your slab painting reminds me how I used to be given a jar of beetroot juice and sent out to paint the dustbin. For ages i thought this was a real job that had to be done, but was always very disappointed that the dustbin never turned that gorgeous purple colour...

I hope he will be planting something,Steragram..preferably not me ! Lol..and yes,he is great..love him to bits:o)) that made me laugh,about the Beetroot juice..ha ha...

oh thats not fair steragram!!

He is such a poppet, love that last photo, he is giggling so much, Lol. When our lad arrives we always put the sprinkler on so he can get wet first and get it over with!! Bless them.

Thank you,Grandmage..it is a pleasure to see his little smiley face,when he comes..and always the same..mind you,he has a happy mum and dad..so it definitely starts at home..:o).I bet your little one loves the Sprinkler..:o)

haha first photo did make me laugh :)))) lovely pics - great memories in the years to come Bloomer :)))))))))))))

As proof that grandchildren do remember what they did with their grandparents. I used to be exactly like your grandson with my Nan and Grandad who both loved gardening. They got me interested and here i am now.

My Mum isn't too fussed about gardening, but I love it. It is just a shame that they both died just before I had enough time and money to do it at my place.

Fantastic. What a gorgeous little lad he is Sandra. I do envy you that, my little gt.granddaughter is too far away.

Mind you, she is such a live wire, she doesnt stay still two seconds.

Glad it made you laugh,Paul..thanks for your nice comment..he makes us laugh too..:o)
That's nice,Alex..I wish I had known all mine,and my lovely Grandma ,who is the only one I knew,,wasn't well enough to do any gardening..but lots of happy memories anyway..:o)
Thank you,Cinders..that is a shame,you must really miss seeing her ..we are so lucky,to live only 5 minutes away by car..I think we all know about the 'live wire 'bit !!

Ah bless!!!....the watering can is bigger than him!!.....where's his "big boys watering can?"...lol....
lovely pics Sandra....he's a little treasurer....well.you know that don't you!!...xx

Thanks ,Lou....I do have a small one for the Houseplants,but we didn't want to take him to the swings,all wet and soggy ! Lol.He is staying over soon,so depending on the weather..maybe then !He doesn't have any wellies yet..:o)

isnt he georgous sandra and so much fun bless :o))

Thanks San..he does keep us on our toes..:o)We don't need exercise lessons,with him around..Lol.

Growing up fast Bloomer, he`s happy with his task, it shows on that cheeky face, not surprised he keeps you on your toes, when mine were that age they were always happy to help even if it was weeding in the wrong place and water draws them like magnets, I always had spare clothing kept here.
Make the most of it, sadly mine now think gardening is Not Cool, lol........
Smashing pics....

Thanks Lincslass..I suppose it's inevitable with most of them,as they grow up..but you all have the memories,which is nice,and they won't forget the fun they had..:o)

What a lovely boy and I know just how much you enjoy him as I too have a great grandson and he is almost three now - how time fly's. They keep you young don't they? Keep on having fun.

lovely boy.Aren't grandchildren wonderful...

Thank you,Breda,and Sbchick..I agree,just wonderful :o)

Lovely pics Bloomer, I too believe in starting 'em young. Mine are a little ahead of yours...learning to sweep the chimneys now:-))

Lol,Ba..hope they haven't to dismantle a gas fire first ! :o)

Oooops, never thought of that:-)

Never mind,Ba..I'm sure they will have already got the necessary qualifications..!! Lol.

I'm sure he would be a great gardener too:-00 lol!!!

He does his bit,Junna..a great slug and snail hunter ! Lol.
