Navigating the hilly terrain of motherhood

This afternoon, Gracie told me that she would like to sleep downstairs from now on, because her bed isn’t comfortable anymore. Luckily, I can see right through that one. This kid loves the chicks. She held each one of them twice today, and she held Rosie four different times. Grace is getting very good at being still and making the chicks feel safe – something that requires quite a bit of effort on her part! She is getting so good, in fact, that baby Bernadette – the smallest of the chicks (and only two days old) – fell asleep in her hands. Sweet Grace is a very good mama hen.

    How adorable… I can’t wait to hear all about this adventure. How wonderful Grace is with them, she is a great momma hen. With egg prices at an all time high, we might have to get some chicks of our own.
