Before we bring our own goaties home, we wanted to take Coco to the goat farm to visit the mamas and babies. I said, “Look, Coco! Goats! You will love them and play with them and protect them with your life.”
Coco reacted with the same immediate enthusiasm she had for stairs.
She bounced off to talk to their chickens. She knows about chickens. She has some of them.
“Coco, come back!”
“You can do it, Coco. You were so brave just the other day.”
“See how pretty the babies are? So sweet and adorable?”
Coco sniffed a little bitty baby with great caution. “It’s okay, Coco,” I told her. “Look what innocent cherubs they are, fresh from God’s arms.”
“They bounce, Coco. Just like you.”
“See how they romp and frolic and clamber?”
“See how they– What are they doing? They’re too young for– Oh, no. No!”
“Don’t look, Coco! Don’t look!”

Oh the innocence! Baby goats are sooo cute! Coco is in for a lot of work between the chicken and the goats. Which will be battling for her attention? Probably neither! More like, “keep your distance!”

LOL That was funny!
That Coco! She is so adorable..that is so cute of 52 (????) holding the baby goat and Coco getting to know it. Adorable!
The chickens are funny on the food trough! Some of them are so pretty – I love the colors!
Between the critters and 52 and Princess and the boys, there sure is alot of fun to be had, each day!

Oh well, you can’t protect them forever. Coco would’ve probably seen it on tv or learned about it on the school bus anyway.
