Here is our sweet little holiday duck family. Last year Derek was worried that Holley might destroy them and their cute little outfits, so he pretended that the papa duck bit him. It worked, and Holley stayed away from them the rest of the holidays. At that time, to her, all birds were chickens, so they were the "scary chickens". This year we pulled them out, and she STILL won't go near them. Derek asked Holley to go get something the other night, and she said she didn't want to cause she'd have to walk past the Scary Chickens. I realized that this fear was in place before the neighbors got their chickens and Rooster. Therefore, when the rooster crows in the middle of the night and Holley runs into our room crying about the scary chicken, I won't feel guilty telling Derek he needs to lay with her til the Rooster quiets down. ha ha ha! Her Daddy has scared her for life.
