Our Little Lamb

Mary isn't the only one who had a little lamb. Our family is taking care of a lamb from a local farm! It was orphaned when it's mother died in birth. We have been bottle feeding her and we have named her Mountain Bluebell. She's the sweetest thing. We had no idea how to bottle feed or care for a lamb but we learned fast and she is thriving! It's been the most amazing home school project we've ever undertaken!

Beautiful Boy was the most excited when he heard a lamb was coming to our home. "That's great because I'm a farmer!" he yelled. He's the best at taking care of her by far.

 

 

 

She runs around our house in a diaper, sleeping at the boy's feet. I think she thinks she's a puppy LOL She looks like a goat because she doesn't have wool, she's a hair sheep - an American Black Belly.

 

Bell loves to suck on Beautiful Boy's earlobes LOL It's so funny -just his, no one else's. They must be yummy!
