Well my beautiful daughter has just turned 5! Its a big number for a little girl. It means to her that she is now old enough to do the dishwasher herself, maybe pick her own towel up, and of course pour her own milk, and now answer the phone for Coastal Turf ( said sorry you have to be at least 12 to do that, but don’t be surprised if one day you ring and she answers). To me it means that my little pink child is now a person.
It also means that I have been in the Coastal turf office now for 4 and a half years. I came back in with Hollie on the floor playing when she was 6 months old. Holl took her first steps across the office. She is definitely the least shy of my 3, weather that is because she is a girl or because her whole life she has been with adults. I think she was 8 months old when she went for her first turf delivery, and 4 when she was able to sit on the tractor with Poppa while they cut turf. Don’t get me wrong, Holl is very VERY girly, but when she needs to she can muck it out at the Turf Farm. I think she was giving out Turf advice at school the other day. I guess having a Turf Farmer for a Grandfather, a Mother who works in the Turf Office and sometimes on the farm, and a Turfman as a father really makes you know your grass. As long as all she ever knows is the green in the ground and walk on it Grass, She’ll be fine
