At first she was a bit uncertain as to what exactly this was, but it didn't take long for Rose to overcome any hesitation. soon she was reaching into the pen trying to touch the goats, honestly I think if we had put her inside the pen she would have been thrilled. no fear, not even a little.
Anthony just loved putting quarters into the food dispenser and collecting the pellets, giving them to the goats was another story, eventually he warmed up, but the "fun" for him was definitely getting the food.
Yahaira wanted no part of this, slowly she came closer, eventually she fed a goat or two. Rose simple loved this part of the pumpkin patch, so fascinated, so excited, so entertained. How fun to experience new things thru the eyes of a 1 year old.
Kevin commented maybe we should get her a pet. "such as?" I asked. "well probably not a goat" he said You think!!!!, dear God the man has become such a softie with these kids. I vetoed the pet thinking quite quickly..."they have a dog" I pointed out "I know" he said "but maybe we should consider getting them another pet" Uh NO! not happening, I'm sure their emotional/social/and whatever development won't be too sorely lacking if we don't go down the path of another pet for them. "hey we can always bring them back to the pumpkin patch, or the pet store, or the Zoo has a wealth of animals" I pointed out. He looked skeptical. "It wouldn't be the same as having it in the house" he said That would be the point, this way we visit, and leave, the key word is "leave" therefore no work, no responsibility, no stress, simple actually. He still looked like he was wavering, "I don't know" he said "maybe we should think about it" I resorted to firmly saying No! No pets! repeat after me......no pets!!!!
