A breath of fresh air! It smells like springtime. A gentle breeze tickles me and my six siblings. After taking a whiff of this new world we are all hungry. We swarm at mom like bees. I am pushed to the outside and have to wriggle my way to a teet. The milk is warm and delicious. It quiets my grumbling stomach and makes my eyes flutter with sleepiness.
