The Squirrel

My Aunt Marie found a baby squirrel in her yard that was about to be eaten by her dog. Luckily, she rescued the baby squirrel in time, but now she must care for it until it gets old enough to go out on its own.
She brought the squirrel to Nana's house on Labor Day so that Natalee and Trent could play with it.
Natalee loved it right off the bat. When the squirrel was in her hand, she giggled and laughed and then giggled some more. She said it was "ticklish" to her. She even had a chance to feed the baby squirrel its bottle.

Trent, on the other hand, wasn't so sure. He didn't want to hold the squirrel at first. He was just fine with watching it at a safe distance while someone else was holding him. But then Nathan came along and put the squirrel on Trent's neck.

Trent finally got brave enough to feed the baby squirrel while Aunt Marie held it for him.


You gotta love that expression! : )
