A Momentary Lapse in Parental Judgement...

Elizabeth insisted on riding the sheep. To her credit, I think she thought it would be like riding a pony.  All the little sheep books have sweet sheep, the lamb is precious, so precious he followed her to school one day! How could it not be a sweet ride?!
Anyhow, Daddy geared her up and off they went to ride the sheep...

"I wanna ride the sheep."

Safety first!

Excited to ride...

Feel ok?

Ready to ride.

Gate opens...

Elizabeth is not holding on

and goes straight down.

Poor baby.

But I got a grass stain and a ring pop!!

Isn't life a little bit like that---we are excited to try, we gear up, sometimes we fall down.
Thankfully, there is always the Precious Lamb where ever we go.
