The bug is deeply in love with "a-min-ahls." While she still prefers to be held by one of us while in the company of dogs, since they have mysterious abilities to jump and lick, she took to horses in approximately 2.5 seconds, as you can see.
On our morning and afternoon commutes, she regularly comments on the horses and cows visible in the countryside along the highway, and will often moo and neigh at them from the car seat. She can identify what to us seems like a surprisingly large number of other farm animals, given that we live in the suburbs.
Matt and I realize that she is more likely to come in contact with farm animals in the context where they go "sizzle," unless we seriously encourage this interest. Other parents: do your kids seem to have a rather strong farm-animal interest? Why do you think so many young children's books seem so farm-oriented? Does anyone have recommendations on some urban-type kids' books to help balance out the collection?
