The Story of Liam and the Sunflower

 Earlier this year Liam brought a sunflower seed home from school.  It was in a little styrofoam cup.  He wanted to plant it.  I told him that he could and asked him where he wanted to plant it.  Front and center in the front porch flower bed!  I knew that sunflowers got tall...but how tall could it get, really?  GINORNOUS tall is how tall they get!! LOL!  HE is really proud of his sunflower though.  The leaves are prehistoric looking, they are so big! 
And it keeps getting taller and larger every single day.  The trunk, because it is no longer just a "stem", is so thick we could probably use it to support the house!! It finally opened it's flower yesterday and showed us some of the yellow petals.  It has been really fun watching this grow with Liam!
