Compassion

I love that Paige loves animals. She has never had a high tolerance, or shall I say, interest in babies or little ones. Sometimes I see children who fawn over little kids and show such love and compassion. I often wondered if Paige had that nurturing, motherly side to her. My suspicions have been confirmed, that indeed, this little girl is an animal lover! Of course, she is Queen Mother to Sambo the cat. She would probably jump in front of a bus for him. I knew that she loved her cat dearly, but the other day as we were driving back from a photoshoot, she demanded, "Pull over". I was afraid she was going to be sick by the alarm in her voice. "Pull over here next to this fence, please, sissy!" I obliged. In the distance were these beautiful horses. It was a hot day and Paige ran to their fence and started calling for them. The beautiful brown horse immediately made his/her way to Paige and I swear to you, they gazed at each other for a good 2 minutes. Paige kept saying, "It's ok sweetie. I know you are hot, but the sun is about to go down. You will be cooler then. Just eat you some grass and stay under the shade". The horse stared at her and started kicking it's front left leg. It looked at Paige, never at me, and as if to say, "yes m'am" and walked away and stood underneath a big tree. Paige walked to the car and said, "Ok, let's go!". I followed her lead and we didn't speak one word about it in the car.

Yep, she's going to be a good mommy!
