Baby Ba's

Sabina rides out on Tornado. I am leading them on foot. We head out towards the state forest, and as we close the last gate, I spot a couple of young feeding lambs. "Look, Sabina! Look at the lambs! They are drinking milk from their mama." I smile at her. But hang on ... OMG! "Sabina!!! Look! Those lambs have just been born! Look they are still dirty. Mama is licking them. She's going to lick them clean. This is the first time they have stood up and drank milk. Oh, look, that one hasn't even found the milk yet!" On and on I go. Mesmerised by the gift of life. Sabina stares with content, but I don't think she quite realises the significance of the moment.
