"I want to be a farm boy"

My former student invited us out to their farm again this year, and Emmett REALLY loved it. On the way home, he couldn't stop talking about it. "I really had fun at the farm, mom. I want to be a farm boy!" Hannah was so patient showing him around.

 A chicken laid eggs while we were there, so he was able to get them. When Angela asked him if he liked to eat eggs, he said "NO! You can't eat these eggs. They're chicken eggs!" Oh boy.

Farm Animals

A former student was kind enough to invite us up to their farm and see the new lambs, chicks, and other animals. We went a year ago for Easter pictures with their white bunny. This year, E was more mobile and a lot more interested in the animals.

He kept calling the llama a "horsie." He loved feeding it out of his hand.

 The sheep wanted nothing to do with E, but he loved chasing them. I told the family if they ever needed a sheepdog, he'd be available!

He didn't like the chickens at first, but once he got to feed them he loved it. The only thing is that he'd drop the feed right in front of him, so the chickens would get closer and closer. Then he'd realize he was surrounded. 

He probably would have fed them all night if he could.

This picture CRACKS me up. He didn't like the turkeys much, and it looks like he's having a stare down with the big one. 

My former student was so patient teaching him how to feed everything. He didn't want to leave when we were done... we might just be running back up there soon!
