With a look at how Heidi had sat down and continued to chatter in whatever language babbling she was using, he chuckled.  "I think she is having a grand time.  They will grow fast enough.  Then she'll lead them into who knows what."  He grinned. 

"Thanks.  When she gets older, I won't worry as much, but as young as she is now, she could get hurt or lost.  But she is already a determined little mess." 

He watched as she struggled with what he figured was her apron behind her.  Finally, he gave her a raised brow.  "I'll have Mrs. Pearson bring the boys over to introduce themselves and get a lesson about taking care of themselves.  Um.. would you like an extra hand now?"  He asked indicating the apron.  "I'm pretty good with a rope, I don't figure an apron will be too hard to figure out." He winked.
