I love this little swan so much! He is calming to me for some reason but his face also looks a little bit upset as well which is pretty much how I feel. The upset part, not the calm. I am fine, don’t worry, just over being at home all the time! It will be ok, we will all get through this. I am amazed at what humans can quickly adapt to and how resilient we all are. But a change of scene would be nice right about now.
And I keep thinking of the first time my son saw swans. We were in Arizona visiting family and there was a little pond at a nearby park with swans he just stared at them. He was 7 months old and didn’t scream or crawl to them, just looked out at the water and observed them. I need to take him to see some swans now and see what his reaction is like a year later. The other day he screamed with delight over a worm and ant so I think he would be pretty stoked about a swan! For now he has this little DIY swan that he can interact with and destroy.
