CUTE! I have to disagree with you about the children/animal thing. My 3 year old has come SO far from where he used to be regarding animals! He used to be TERRIFIED of ALL animals! Kittens, dogs, didn't matter. I've worked with him and worked with him for SO long! I started well before he was a year old. Today we went to a farmer's market and there were chickens walking around. He was afraid of them but I didn't pick him up. I told him they wouldn't hurt him. However, he's probably a rare case. He doesn't like to be thrown up in the air and he used to be terrified of thunder. He's come a long way on that, too! I think my boy is just a very cautious guy who likes to have his feet on the ground and a cage around all animals! He does great with my snakes, though! Oh, and BTW, she's PRECIOUS! My little girl was never chubby like that and I just LOVE chubby babies!
