B for Babies, C for Chickens

Jo has been talking about having the neighbors over for drinks for a while. Then Amy did it. This evening six families from our street with children between the ages of almost seven down to a few months old congregated to drink wine, eat dinner, and watch their children play. The thing the kids enjoyed the most was to pick up hens like small sacks of beans and then carry them to the top of the play scape and release them to "teach them to fly".

Jo sat with two lovely babies on her lap and seemed to like that tremendously but I was happy to note that she was not unhappy to hand them back to their mothers when it was time to leave.
