chia obama: day 8

chia obama's hair continues to grow!  it's growing a bit unevenly at the moment, with some sprouts almost an inch long and others still babies.  so he looks a little weird, but i guess that's normal when you're a chia pet.  the instructions say to rotate him so that each side gets equal exposure to the sun, so maybe that will help as his hair continues to grow.

one thing i'm learning is that it is very hard to take photos of a chia obama so that one's friends can see how well his hair is growing.  maybe that will change as his hair gets thicker.  please get thicker, hair.

the instructions say that growth will continue for about 4 weeks until this is no longer a suitable environment for the growing sprouts, and then they will start to die.  that means you have three more weeks of following him on the blog - get excited!
