[00:00:04.550]Hi friends, I'm glad you joined me today.
[00:00:08.160]It's a beautiful day to come outside
[00:00:11.420]and join me on my farm.
[00:00:14.390]I am going to introduce you
[00:00:16.310]to my little flock of sheep.
[00:00:19.010]A flock is a group of sheep.
[00:00:21.950]And I have some baby lambs in the barn
[00:00:24.120]I'd like you to meet.
[00:00:25.920]A lamb is a baby sheep.
[00:00:29.560]Friends, this is Chloe.
[00:00:32.740]She was born in early February,
[00:00:37.990]and when she was born, she was much smaller
[00:00:40.830]than most little lambs at birth.
[00:00:43.800]She had trouble sucking
[00:00:46.580]and she could not suck very well.
[00:00:49.990]Lambs need to suck to drink their milk from their mother.
[00:00:54.970]I worked with her to teach her to suck,
[00:00:57.050]and have been bottle feeding her
[00:00:58.460]three times a day ever since.
[00:01:01.340]She has grown a lot since she was born.
[00:01:04.293](lighthearted playful music)
[00:01:21.961](lighthearted chiming music)
[00:01:56.350]Because she is so much smaller
[00:01:58.270]than the other lambs in the flock,
[00:02:00.530]there are other things that Chloe can't do.
[00:02:04.630]Can't is a word that means, can not.
[00:02:10.390]Chloe can not yet Baa.
[00:02:13.640]And she can't yet jump.
[00:02:16.930]But there are lots of things she can do.
[00:02:19.830]Chloe can run, she can go outside by all herself now.
[00:02:25.030]She can come inside to get warm,
[00:02:28.010]And she can snuggle with the other lambs.
[00:02:30.930]And Chloe can suck from a bottle.
[00:02:33.119](lighthearted playful music)
[00:02:37.880]This is a trough.
[00:02:40.090]A trough is a low tray where we put the sheep feed
[00:02:44.990]for the animals to eat.
[00:02:47.435](lighthearted playful music)
[00:02:59.130]Just like Chloe, I'm sure you have grown ups you can trust
[00:03:02.090]that can help you too.
[00:03:03.270]Just like Chloe needs me.
[00:03:07.690]And I'm sure there are lots of things that you can do.
[00:03:12.440]So maybe this week, you could ask your grown up,
[00:03:15.380]to help you make a list of a few things you are good at.
[00:03:18.630]You could draw a picture of some of those things.
[00:03:21.690]Or you could ask your grown up to play Simon Says,
[00:03:25.480]and see if they can do what you can do.
[00:03:28.696](lighthearted playful music)
[00:03:33.280]Thanks for coming out to my barn,
[00:03:35.640]to discover what my little lamb can do
[00:03:37.860]on this beautiful day.
[00:03:39.467](lighthearted playful music)
[00:03:53.411][Children In Chorus] Horah!
[00:03:56.311](lighthearted playful music)
