15 Months Old Today

Today, Rai, you turned 15 months old.
You're growing up so quickly we can hardly believe it and, although we have previously only hinted at it, we are now convinced that you've reached an age at which you can do more than just play, eat and sleep the days away. You have reached an age at which you can give back, work to help out the household. What really got me thinking about this is the image of a toddler, certainly no older than you, on your baby food jar. On that jar, the little toddler holds a garden hoe, harvesting the bounty that ends up in the jar. Rai... I don't know how to put this other than just saying it outright: how do you feel about tending to a garden and filling your own jars with food?
