Letters to Lyla and Lottie

Dear Lyla, there’s something about fulfilling old family traditions with you that make me feel oh so special.  This year, the lambies didn’t come to the land by our house so I went in search for others.  You’re in this stage where you understand that animals are a species different from you and you are very interested in them!  You get so excited and say oooohhh when you see any kind of animal.  I knew we had to keep up our Spring tradition of visiting the baby lambs so I texted my friend Sami and asked if she knew of any.  As luck would have it, her mom was nursing an abandoned baby lamb!  Not only did we get up close attention to this adorable little lambie but we got to feed him!  You were a little intimidated so I mostly did the feeding.  After, we walked around her farm and met horses and their pigs.  Oddly, you LOVED the pigs.  You giggled and pointed at them.  You were also intimidated by the horses but warmed up to the idea and even petted them.  Thanks for letting me have these special moments with you.  This made our third mommy and me date.  Lottie was going to come in the sling but it was windy so she slept on the couch in Sami’s mom’s house
