I had to chuckle the other day as my kids were handling and playing with our baby chicks. (We try to work with them every day so they will be friendly toward us and enjoy our company as they grow older. Thus far, the approach has worked. All of our big chickens will allow the kids to pick them up and carry them around – adorable!) Anyway, I found it very amusing that our daughter calmly holds them, pest them, talks sweetly to them, etc… All the while, our son zooms them around like airplanes, creates obstacle courses for them and actually tries to get them to move on the obstacle course. 🙂 I am left to wonder if this set of chicks will actually enjoy us and consider us friendly after their rigorous daily workouts! Maybe the gentle hands of our daughter will balance all of that out. 🙂 Here is to enjoying life with kiddos and critters!
