We saw in the newspaper this week that Wendy Hagen, local author of Totally Desparate Mom, was going to be at Rakestraw books and that there would be a petting zoo for the little ones. We wanted to go and meet her, and let H experience some animals. There were ducks, chickens, goats, rabbits and a pig.
Wendy was so sweet and friendly, her children were there) and the daughter that inspired the chapter on the "Terrible Threes," and her book looks wonderfully funny, inspring and comforting. I am looking forward to reading it!
We let H look from outside of the zoo area before he went in.
After we went in, he was interested in the animals. I led him over to where the animals were and tried to show him to pet the rabbits.
Instead of petting the animals, he was petting the other children's soft hair! Two or three kids were 'pet' by H, although I don't think they noticed.
Many of the rabbits and chickens stayed behind H for awhile - I think because he wasn't really bothering them. One of the chickens tried to eat the buttons on his clothes.
Goat!
H wasn't too sure about the pig....
