I thought my days of "firsts" were over for awhile, but Allison and I played an intergral part in Lucas' first trip to Frying Pan Farm Park this morning! His mom Meredith and I went to middle school and high school together and thanks to Facebook have been able to reconnect and reflect on memories, bad hair stylin' and boy drama. Oh, my future scares me with a little girl!
We did our usual routine, hit the farmers market, then the playground and finally to see the animals. Lucas was a trooper thorough it all, not a peep. We showed him the pigs, horses and goats. There was one goat that seemed to like Allison, she would pet his head and touch his neck. Leaps and bounds from when we would first go and she was terrified. When we were in the car coming home, she told me that the goat told her what her his name was...."duckling". Seems to work.
Allison was quick to tell Lucas all the sounds that the animals make. Except for the goat. What exactly does a goat say? In the Booker house, it's "goat, goat". To other mom's at the farm, it was "baa", "mmaaa" and someone even said when they talk it sounds like they are saying "heeeelllllppp". Who knew it would start such conversation.
After the animals we headed back to the playground. Lucas drifted off to sleep, he was so tired after learning all of the animal sounds. Allison showed some independence on the playground and didn't need me at every turn. That was great because it allowed Meredith and I some time to chat. Always nice to look back at fond memories and we were so happy to get together and share in one of Lucas' "firsts"!
