Equinophilia

A couple of weeks we ago we showed C-bao the video of her riding a pony at Lemos Farm. This turned out to be a mistake. Since then, whenever she sees C-Pop, she starts yelling Ma! Ma! 馬!馬! or Horse! Horse!) to strongarm him into showing her the video again. 

And who could resist? Just look at the big smile and the declarations of "Yay!" and "Good job!" from the little one once the video starts playing. And as you can see below, watching the video once is not enough (Hai yao! More!). She also likes to demonstrate the act of riding by rocking back and forth and saying "Qi! Qi" (Ride! Ride!). 

By the way, other videos of kids riding ponies also hold her interest, to the point that C-Pop is on the verge of making a Youtube playlist just of pony riding. He also tested her interest in watching other animal videos. Generally after a few seconds, C-bao looks disgustedly at C-Pop, shakes her head, and says Ma! Ma!

Lemos Pony

C-bao took a trip to Half Moon Bay's Lemos Farm recently. While the abysmal traffic on the way there put everyone in a foul mood, all was forgotten as soon as C-bao saw the trains and ponies.

C-Pop was concededly initially skeptical that the little one was going to be able to handle riding a pony by herself - especially after she freaked out while C-Pop was introducing her to the goats. Nonetheless, when C-Pop suggested to C-Mum that she might be a little young, the little one gave an exasperated look , as if saying "What's the big deal?"

Then when it came time for her turn, she cooly got on her pony without a fuss and enjoyed her ride enthusiastically, except for staring down C-Pop every once in a while when she passed him.
