Over spring break we watched Mallory's kindergarten teacher's guinea pig. We did this last year since we did not go anywhere and both Mallory and Miles had so much fun. Things changed this year though. Mallory cleaned the cage without me telling her to do so and took such great care of him. She was very fair in having her brother involved in the holding and caring part too. I wonder if Arthur will come to our house next year too?
The night we took him back to school it was my turn to lay with Miles. He was silent for quite some time and finally said, "Mommy, I miss Arthur." Who knew that a guinea pig would have such an impact on a little boy?
