Fence Sitters

For his 1st birthday, Guard received farm animals.  I have seen them every day since then.  He really does get them out and play with them every day. 
One of his favorite things to do is set up his accordion fence, put all his animals inside the fence and then crawl in with them.  Then, he will take all the animals and line them up on top of the fence.  If they long enough legs, they straddle the fence, if not, they just balance on top.  I'm actually quite impressed, that take a lot of fine motor skill.
And then he takes them down individually, and show each one to me while I make their sound.  Each one.  Every day.  Multiple times a day.  He is finally picking up 'moo' and he will say 'se, se, se' for horse.  He can identify each animal and we are working on sounds.  I still don't know what a turtle or hedgehog says, but we get the others.
Maybe Guard isn't too happy about his animals sitting on the fence!
