This farm is just down the street from us and in February, Ella and some of her friends from school met up for a play date. My little adaptable girl... in Hawaii she was a total bare foot beach bum and here in Texas she's become quite the little cowgirl. She loves animals and has no fear of them.
She's also a natural on a horse. And seriously, she rides like a pro too :)
She also has no fear of older kids. Two boys and girl were playing king of the castle on a hay pile... all were about 8-10 years old. Ella watched as the two boys pushed the girl off the top and jumped up to claim victory. Ella watched for a few minutes and evaluated the situation. Once she knew the gist of the game, she took her bad self and pushed the boys off the top, climbed up, and offered a hand to the girl. That's my girl! Of course before I praised her for her courage I asked her if she knew why she was allowed to push the boys off. She said, "That's the game Mommy!" I just wanted to know that she understood it to be a game rather than not playing nice with other kids. Ha! I love that she instinctively sided with the girl and wanted to play regardless of their obvious size and age difference... but maybe not obvious to her :)
