My proposal:

Como un niño que planta una semilla y sale cada día a ver si ya germinó.

Or:

Como un niño que planta una semilla y sale cada día a ver cómo crece.

"Vegitación" is not a Spanish word... maybe you meant "germinación" ("...y sale cada día a comprobar la germinación")

"Acrecentamiento" is more used when you gather or accumulate things. The word here is "crecimiento" ("...y sale cada día a comprobar su crecimiento")

Como un niño quien planta una semilla y sale todos los días a revisarla (a ver si ha crecido).
