You rarely see her without a My Little Pony, or one of her plastic horse figurines. She has to have every single one of her horse toys in her bed before she can sleep.... I dunno, other parents can let me know what they think, it seems obsessive, however I've heard of kids doing the same with a blankie, etc.
So, we took her to a friends house today to meet her first horse. Man, when we drove up & she saw the horse out her window she shreeked "HORSEY !!!" and her eyes got the deer in the headlights look. I have never seen her so excited.
She got up, walked right up to that huge animal and with absolutely no fear she put her hand out. The horse absolutely loved her ! I mean, she liked the rest of us only because we gave her carrots, but she continued to stand near Camryn, smelling her, nuzzling up against her. Camryn ate it up, she loved it. She'd pet her nose, put her hand out (all the while I was freaking out thinking the thing would bite her fingers, but it didn't!)
Anyway, it was a special moment. She loved every second of it, and when we had to leave she completely broke down, saying "I want my horsey, I want to ride her".... oh, it was hard. She had never cried so much, it brought tears to both Bryce & my eyes.
So we came home and I put pictures on the screen saver of our computer screen. She sat there for about an hour in my computer chair just looking at the horse pictures....it was precious.
Here are some pics we took, you'll be amazed when you see how close this huge horse was to our lil 2 year old....she wasn't afraid, not one bit and I really still cannot get over how taken the horse was with her.....
Needless to say, her Christmas will be smothered with horsey things. We've found a few things, however we're having trouble finding horse sheets and blankets. If you guys see any, let me know !!!! All I've found is My Little Pony, and although she'd love them, she'd love real horse sheets even more :)
