We're making progress folks!

This morning my mom told me that last night, as I was headed for bed, she went in to change out the ducklings light to the red heat lamp; Our smaller duckling (believed to be our female) immediately started peeping, freaking out at the close proximity of a human. So, Mom picks her up to hold her for a while. 

          Whenever we hold just one duckling, other that's left behind cries and cries for his friend, this time mom just let them get all their whining out-until shockingly the young female sat on mom's lap! Had it been our male, I  wouldn't be as impressed, but our female seems to be the more skittish of the two, and yet she calmed down long enough to sit with someone. 

Mom replaced the girl, and picked up the boy later on, although he hollered as well, he laid down on mom's crossed legs fairly quickly. We're making progress!
