I blink and he's 5.

The Monday before his birthday we went to a local animal farm. Who doesn't love baby animals?!

 All Riley said all day was, "AAaaaaahhhhhh!" in that 'I'm giving a cute animal a cuddle' kind of way.
This little goat escaped from the pen and followed Riley around. He liked that, his own little fury friend. He wasn't too keen when someone else wanted to play.

 Lucas having a go at milking the cow. The poor cow! Some of those kids dug their nails in and squeezed so hard I'm amazed the cow didn't fuss! Lucas was good at it though. We had lots of talks that day about how to tell a boy cow from a girl how, what udders really are (not wee bags) and how cats have lots of places for all her kittens to drink from...

 Tuesday we went to Nanny's. Grandad was in Hospital having a blood transfusion.. again. Not a great time and she was glad of the company. We couldn't go and see him because of the compromised immune systems of everyone in his ward. We had pre-birthday cake which was a lovely surprise. Thanks Ninny.

 The boys love their button blankets and they keep asking me to read out what it says on the patch. :o)
