Yesterday, Paul had a field trip to Le Cronier's Baby Acres, where he got to feed goats and sheep and hold little baby animals. Out of the chick, bunny, kid, lamb, and kitten, can you guess his favorite? Yup, the baby kitten--the one you can find anywhere in the suburbs. Come on, what about that baby bunny? That thing was the softest animal in the world. The baby goats cracked me up. Eight days old and they were jumping all over their mother, standing on her back, frolicking around the pen, and jumping off anything above the ground they could reach. After about twenty minutes of play, one kid just totally crashed and fell asleep on a ledge with its head hanging over the side. The farmers gave everyone a cup of food, herded us into an enclosure, and then opened the animal pen. Twenty or so goats and sheep charged us. Surprisingly, all the preschoolers held their ground and nobody cried.
