It's a Sprout Time

Our sprout crop is in! Here's how they look on day 1:

This is a mix of alfalfa, radish, red clover, and two types of lentils. Since starting this, I have become addicted. I am now experimenting with chia (though I can not say this without singing the jingle from the chia pet commercial- can you?) and wheat berries. The wheat berries I will sprout and use to make bread, as someone suggested here.

In other news, Ella has learned how to say "Belly button" (pronounced "ba- BAH"). She enjoys lifting up my shirt and plugging my belly button with her index finger. Which makes me laugh. But there is something weird about a little finger fishing around in your belly button, so I pull my shirt back down. Which makes her laugh. And with surprising strength, pulls my shirt back up and wiggles her finger back into my navel.

Be afraid.
