Our Brave Girl

Going into the petting zoo, we weren't sure how Mady would do.  She sometimes gets nervous in new settings and it was easy to get overwhelmed with lots of animals roaming about and tons of people.  But she did better than expected!

Everything was going great until this little goat jumped up next to her.

Apparently, Jeremy said, the goat was licking her fingers until she pointed at it. Then it nibbled on her finger.  That was it.  Mady was SO upset!  She burst into tears and cried for a few minutes mainly because it scared her. Here's daddy trying to calm her down.

We stayed for about 5 minutes longer to try to get her to pet a few more animals so she would have a good experience to end on.  She was a brave girl!

Overall I think Mady was more interested in the other kids in the petting zoo rather than the animals.  She kept waving at them and at one point, grabbed another kid to get his attention.  She's definitely a social little girl!
