animals galore

Liam and i went to the Easter show today with a friend and her son. Liam loves animals and it really showed once we were there. He went for a ride on a pony first of all which cost four dollars-but he really loved it. Then in the baby animal nursery he got carried away with the sheep and spart from rounding them up by chasing them around and holding onto them he actually jumped on one to go for a ride-but it bucked him straight off!
He lay down next to a piglet and talked to it and tried feeding it-he was quite intimate with it-laying down and looking at it in the eye. He then jumped in the fenced off area where the rabbits were while i wasn't looking so i quickly pulled him out of there!
He dosen't seem to be afraid of animals at all and takes a liking to them in a very special kind of way, maybe it's cos i read him so many animal books and he seems familiar with them?
