This past Sunday, we took the boys to the BLORA Waterfest in Belton, TX. It was $6 to get in the gates and everything after that was free! They had a petting zoo, ponies to ride, waterslides, canoe rides, water balloon launchers, bounce houses and a beautiful lake to swim in! The first thing Jacob wanted to do was ride the ponies. He was all excited about it until we got about 5 feet from the ponies. At that point, he began to meltdown and fight me putting him on the pony. Those moments as a mother are hard because you never know if you should push the issue, hoping that he would enjoy the ride or just back off and try again later. I decided to gently put him on the pony and allow him to grab at me. The cowboy got the ponies walking immediately and as soon as his little pony took off, he was grinning ear to ear. He loved those ponies and took a special liking to the only black pony who was named "Black Beauty". Needless to say, he has been walking around the house the last couple of days saying "Jacob ride Beauty" although it sounds more like "Jacob white booty"....which is true as well! Ahhhh from the mouths of babes!
