horses held

a few weeks ago, around dinnertime, lucy was pretty bent on us getting something for her. for the life of me, i can't remember what it was; but ty and i were both busy. he was feeding abby and i was cooking dinner. many times during the day we have to curb her enthusiasm and often say "hold your horses lucy!" well, i said it again this night, and all of a sudden she was gone. whoah, 'she's actually learning' i thought. then a faint voice from her bedroom is screaming "i have my horse in my hand!" ty and i got a good chuckle out of it and to praise her for her ingenuity, got her what she wanted.
