Mama's mania

Dawson loves the chicks

When Wyatt was a baby/toddler, he demanded a very gradual, gentle introduction to the chickies in our barn. Dawson on the other hand has loved them since he met them (aside from once when I had to bring him in with me to find Kenton, and he was too young and noise sensitive). We have fresh chicks right now, so I brought him in for a visit while Kenton and Wyatt did their chores, and as soon as we were in, Dawson let go of my hand and ran straight for them. He was running after them, saying and signing "chickie", as they ran away. Once he got close enough, he grabbed one by the neck, and the poor thing was just dangling. I saved the chick, and held him properly so Dawson could pet him. He's so gentle and nice :) But he kept asking to hold him and he'd grab it by the neck again :( I tried a couple times to put one in his hands properly, but the feet tickled him, so he'd just laugh and say no. He certainly has no fear for such a tiny boy though!
