Petting Zoo in Long Island - White Post Farms

July 19, 2012

Today, Mamma, who is 39 weeks pregnant with your baby brother took you to a petting zoo on Long Island.  We had so much fun.  I should probably have stayed close to home in case I went into labor, but that's not your Mamma.  We had laid in the apartment for about 5 straight hours yesterday and I knew we had to get out (although we walked 14 blocks in the rain yesterday after laying in the bed for 5 hours - I'm crazy).  Mamma does not sit still well.  As I got on the LIE and saw the traffic coming back, I thought " I really hope I don't go into labor because I am going to be in some nasty traffic on the way back!"  It was so worth it.  This was the cutest petting zoo.  You rode a horse named Cisco, we fed goats, camels, cows, llamas, pigs and zebras.  I couldn't believe how many animals were at this sweet little farm.  We also went inside the bird cage to feed the birds and they attacked us!  You dropped your stick with bird seed and we ran out.  We both laughed afterwards!

I love you sweet baby
xo Mamma

Hunting Gear from Scotty, Squires & Jackson

December 25, 2012

Scotty, Squires and Jackson gave you this hunting gear for Christmas. It was their old gear. You thought it was pretty cool and put the waders and hat on. You did look so cute. You think guns are pretty cool, much to my dismay. I guess I couldn't stop it. You are a boy. You all find them somehow. You will use sticks if you don't have toy ones. I am getting better with the whole notion. Somehow, I thought I could keep them away - HAHA. Can I say, what silly thinking of me!

Personally, guns are not my favorite. You say you are going to hunt someday "like Jackson." You were at the farm and you saw him kill a bird and I think that was confusing for you. You kept asking me why he did that and that you wanted to do it because he did. I am not sure killing animals is in your nature. You seem somewhat sad and conflicted about it. I am not even sure it's in your Daddy's nature. He has been hunting, but not a lot. However, if it is something you are truly interested in someday, I won't keep you from it. Daddy can teach you the proper way and train you - that's the only way I will allow it. I probably won't be able to keep you away from hunting, especially with Daddy's side of the family being hunters. Look, some people do it as sport and to each their own, but personally, I don't see what a person gains by killing another animal, but that's me...

I love you, Mamma
