A New Paperwhite Bulb!

Grace's paperwhite bulb flowered around Christmastime. Today, Grace measured how tall her paperwhite bulb grew to be and we discovered it was eighteen inches tall! Once of Grace's favorite things to do is to measure items with her measuring tape so this was a fun activity for her. Grace planted a new paperwhite bulb today and we are both very excited to watch another bulb grow taller and anticipate when it will flower. It will be interesting for Grace to compare and contrast the growing cycles of the two paperwhite bulbs. Prior to planting the new bulb, Grace enjoyed studying and touching the roots and flowers of her first paperwhite bulb.

Grace is such a scientist and a mathematician. I cannot wait to keep track along with you and hear the observations on the paperwhite. Isn't it so interesting that something as simple as a bulb can open up so many possibilities for learning? That is what life is all about.
I Love Grace,
Maddy

Grace, you have so many interests, you will always find life interesting. What will you be? A scientist, a fashion diva, a musician, an author??? Que sera, sera, but life will be interesting.
