The kids had a fun week at daycare this week. Monday we had a petting zoo come to the daycare. They brought chickens, bunnies, a goat, and a llama, and had pony rides. I didn't get out there right away, but was told that Kylie petted all the animals. She definitely did not want to go on the pony ride at first, but eventually I managed to get her on with Gabe, as long as I held on to her. She rode the pony all around the playground, telling everyone "Look at me! I riding Pony!" Gabe was very proud that he got her to ride with him! Today we had a girl from Wildlife Adventures come to the center, and she brought a bunny, hedgehog, turtle, toad, tarantula, and 2 snakes - a python and a corn snake. Kylie petted everything but the hedgehog and the tarantula, and she walked up front to see the tarantula, just didn't want to touch it. She, oddly enough, REALLY liked the snakes! She kept following the girl around the room so she could touch it! She absolutely would not hold it or put it around her neck though! The only animal that Gabe didn't pet was the tarantula. I'm afraid I've given him my fear of spiders. Enjoy the pictures!
This is Kylie NOT wanting to ride the pony!

Kylie very definitely NOT wanting to pet the hedgehog!
For those of you who know me, NO, I did NOT get close enough to a tarantula to take this picture. I gave my camera to another teacher and ran from the room!
Kylie petting the python...go figure!
Gabe with the corn snake around his neck!
Yes, that's me with a snake around my neck, and yes, my daughter, who is usually afraid of all animals, except for this week, is petting the snake, of her own free will!
