The past few days in watching Morgan, I have seen her work on conquering her fears of the milk barn. There are so many sounds and such huge cows. She has only wanted to sit in a chair at the front of the barn, far enough away that there was no possible way for the cows to get her. There is no way they could get anywhere near her. But to her that has been awful scary.

Sunday night after her parents left and Papa and Koby were changing sprinklers, she asked me if she could help me get the cows in. I was surprised, but said sure. She had found a little proder and wanted to be like me. So the next batch of cows that needed to come in she held the prodding stick with one hand and her other hand held a death grip on my hand. I kept her out of the way of the cows, there weren't many left. She asked, " Do you think I could pet Bridgette?" I assured her that she could. I kind of slipped between her and Bridgette, Morgan didn't realize that she was touching this huge cow until she turned back around. She started to jerk her hand away, then relaxed it and began petting Bridgette.

The next thing she did was started to walk up and down the alley way BY HERSELF! She started getting me a towel as soon as she saw me dipping the cows that were coming in.

Now I want to follow her example by working on conquering my fears. I need to work on my self worth, being afraid I won't do something good enough. I am very hard on myself. Like this blog--I see all of my family and friends little spots and they are so awesome. Maybe if I keep working, I can become more confident.
