Move over, grasshoppers! There's a new pest in town.

Samuel thinks he's such hot stuff when he climbs into our garden box, giving new meaning to the word squash. When you're the smallest one in the family, I guess it's nice to have a kingdom that makes you feel big. For the moment, that is . . .

If these seedlings survive my baby's treading treatment (and they will!), they will grow to their own monstrous proportions before I know it.

I'm so glad they grow faster than my baby. Still, he's growing fast, too fast, even.

And that is why I don't shoo him from the garden.
