when is a seedling conciderd a seedling?

So today i went to check up on my germed seeds that i planted in a mini green house thing outside that i put there about 2 days ago. so i brushed of the top layers of dirt with my pinkey and then i felt something, i looked and it was the first 2 little green leaves still sorta stuck together. I covered it back up with some fine soil and put a few drops of water on it.

So my question is should i have coverd the little seedling back up even know it was still in its very early stages or just let it chill out in the sunlight and let the little green leaves grow from there?

Just wanna know what other poeple would do

I let nature take its course. They already know what to do, ya know?

definetly let it pop on its own ive "helped" some by uncover them same as you described i couldnt wait for it when i already saw green and roots!! only time neccasarry i would think is last ditch effort if other seeds pop out on own and that one still wont but i am no weed magician like some of these super botanist stoners!! trial and error is it. if u searxh web long enough you can find a weed sight to contradict research from another!!!! start small so mistakes are cheap one to 3 times in and u ready to step it up
