A few weeks ago we went apple picking.
In addition to the fruit picking, the farm had a few animals that the children could feed.
At first the wee girl was happy just to look. She shied away if any of the chickens, goats or sheep came too close.
But, gradually she became braver, and with a little help from daddy (more to pull her hand away should a goat get over enthusiastic!) she fed the goats!
She was thrilled. She beamed from ear to ear when the goat ate the food. The tickles from the goat licking her hand resulted in a particularly loud giggle. She wanted to feed them ‘more, more’!
She really isn’t a baby anymore.

Yay! It’s wonderful when they discover new things. Trepidation first, then joy!
It was lovely to watch :)
So cute and very brave!
Thank you :)
Bless her cottons. We went to a farm the other week and my youngest wasn’t quite brave enough to feed the animals but her big brother was a complete star.

I was quite surprised, she hadn’t seemed at all keen to begin with. But she watched her big brother, and anything he can do…!
oooh look at her, how very brave, you must have been so proud Sara. It’s a big things getting that close to animals :)
I really was – she had seemed so nervous to begin with – I was really surprised! I suspect it was because she’d watched her brother do it…!
What a brave girl! My daughter fed a goat for the first time a couple of weeks ago, it took a few tries but once she’d done it she was so proud of herself :-) Lovely post.
Thank you! I love how pleased with themselves they are when they do something new :)
aaawww, lovely photos!! it is great when they gain confidence in things x
It is, isn’t it? Thank you!
What a brave little girl and a lovely moment to capture. Ethan also love the goats at the zoo, he finds them very funny.
