Domino Farm

We went to Domino Farm yesterday with Doug, Lisa and little Jonah. Ian had his first pony ride! He thought it was great. He thought the whole farm was great. I love the way Ian is so curious about his world and he has little fear of new things. Actually, Mom would like it if he had a little more fear - so he didn't think surfing on the rocking horse, playing in traffic and climbing all over everything wasn't so much fun.


It's been a big week for him so he was up constantly last night needing to touch base with Mom. Must be dreams of pony rides and feeding cows. I think he gets his sensitive disposition in regards to sleep from me because even though I was up all night with him I was also awake at 6:00 thinking about everything that we need to get done in the next four days. So much packing and preparing. And admittedly I am a little nervous of starting this new life, making new friends, moving my family to a new city, finding day care that is a safe and friendly environment for Ian... all those things that keep me up at night or wake me up in the morning. But I guess the plus side is that I get these few moments of peace when I can write in my blog and drink coffee and otherwise play on the laptop without someone begging to press the buttons.

We will miss having Domino Farm only a mile away... I guess the next time Ian will be feeding and petting cows it will be at Lincoln Park Zoo!
