Day 184/365: Shaggy Pony update + sportsing

[nanila]

It’s Shaggy Pony Update time. Look at how tall Foal is getting!


For perspective, here is Foal with its mummy, Cousin It. Foal has started spending more time napping and grazing away from Cousin It’s immediate vicinity.

In other news, tonight we attempted to get the children to watch the England-Colombia match. There was exhaustive “Who are the ones in red/yellow/black/blue/green” questioning. There were sporadic outbreaks of “England, come on England” chants. (It was very weird for me to hear that from my children. Especially on the eve of Revolting Colonial Day.) But mostly they wanted to build a long train out of the trucks in the front room and drink hot chocolate, which they're hardly ever allowed. A mixed success at best.

I love that the horse is called Cousin It! ^_^

[nanila]

Heh, that's what I call it, but I'm not sure what its real name is!

Foal is losing all the baby hair! I wonder if it will be black/brown like Cousin It?

[nanila]

Its coat keeps getting lighter. It seems to have one very dark patch on its face, but I suspect it's going to end up being a pale brown.

The foal is very sweet and growing up quickly :)

[nanila]

Yes! Its body suits its legs much better now.

The colonials are revolting!

Must be all that coffee! :o)

[nanila]

Very revolting. In both senses of the word.

Everything always grows up so quickly. Foals and children alike.

[nanila]

Indeed. This is one of the reasons I feel compelled to document the growth.

[nanila]

YES! :D
