We had the opportunity to go to a barn one of Leia’s friend’s mom works at mid-October. Leia is somewhat leery of animals other than her dog-dog, Sierra\u00a0despite the fact that I have taken her to zoo classes and petting farms since\u00a0she was old enough to go. Leia is normally the one in the group that will not touch the animal\u00a0until everyone else has and then she MIGHT touch it. Whereas her friends\u00a0Kellum, Annie, Camille, and Blake seem to\u00a0have no fear. \u00a0Leia stood back at first not sure to think so\u00a0Stephanie went and got the carrots that Keri had brought to get the kids interacting with the house, Bill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Leia took the carrot and held onto it tight while she boys proceeded to give the carrot to Bill. Leia decided she should\u00a0gnaw on it herself and not share with Bill. Lucky for Bill all the kids did not feel that way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next Ms Keri was going to let the kids sit on Bill but Leia would have nothing to do with it at first.\u00a0Brave Kellum climbed up on the horse though and after Leia saw him she said she was ready.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, Leia got shy when Ms Keri picked her up and started to withdraw. Keri gently started petting Bill and got Leia to touch him then she was ready to climb up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After Leia’s turn it was Blake’s to sit on Bill<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up on the barn the kids got to play in the ‘big sand box’ while we waited on Camille and Annie to arrive. Running around playing chase\u00a0was fun for a very short time since\u00a0Leia’s mind still was\u00a0on the stables. When\u00a0the last two kids arrived we got to go back to see Bill and another horse named Pumpkin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This time Leia shared her carrot with the horse\u00a0but only if\u00a0mommy and sissy helped.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before we headed home Leia also got to get back on the horse. Since getting to see the horse she has talked about Ms Keri’s ‘big horse’ and how she wants to go ride again. I am thinking her daddy and I may need to take her again soon but we are not going to be buying a horse.<\/p>\n
