Baby Chicks

This past week my sister invited us to her kindergarten class to watch baby chicks hatch. For those of you who know me well, I am not much of an animal person - big or small. My mother is allergic to anything that has hair and for most of our childhood we were only allowed goldfish as pets, although we did have two great cats named Yicky and Yucky. To say the least, most animals make me nervous, even small baby chicks. Erin, my sister-in-law and animal lover, had to talk me into holding the chick for a picture. I was afraid it would jump out of my hand and suffer an untimely death. Anyway, it lived and is enjoying life as we know it. Thanks sis for letting us come to your class and thanks to Erin, the chick whisperer!!

Can you tell I am nervous?

Lydia and Lizzy had no problem kissing and petting the "scary" chick.
