Pink boots and bows, that's our girl!

If Jayne Elizabeth's interest at 2 1/2 years old would predict her future she would be a world champion barrel racer or calf roper! She LOVES riding horses, and pretend plays at home that she is a cowgirl. A few weeks ago we have her on video with my bath robe belt saying "saddle up" as she would swing it in the air! She plays in the playroom and barks orders to the steers and horses "whoah", "settle down, you act wild cow!" Jayne Elizabeth stomps around in her pink Justin cowboy boots like she is the show! Needless to say when she found out that she was going to ride Eli, she was all smiles!!! Giggling, smiles! When we arrived at the farm she said "where dat horse at, I need to rope dem cows!" I couldnt tell who was prouder, Papa or Jayne Elizabeth?!?
 She loved this, she did not want to stop riding. I think she would have rode with Papa until dark.


Papa was attempting to teach her how to hold and rein Eli, her preference was only one rein, Eli was so good!

 She was SO happy, her face and sweet little hands on the reins says it all!!!
 After she was "confident" that she could handle the horse her imagination and love to rope set free!!
 Papa and Eli were both at the mercy of this little cowgirl, pretending her reins were a cow rope!!!
 Back at the barn, time to care for her horse.......pull baby girl, pull Eli this way!
 Helping Papa unsaddle and put Eli in his stall.
 Precious.
