Grace and I sent Donné and Keren off for some baby-free sister time and took a trip to Stodels this afternoon to feed the animals and play.

Grace really enjoys animals but can sometimes be intimidated by some of the bigger ones. I fed the lama and told Grace how gentle it was. After that I heard, “Gentle lama, gentle lama,” many times, but Grace was then quite happy to feed the lama. I found it quite interesting to see how much her whole attitude to feeding changed compleatly after that. Just a small mind shift for an entirely different response.
