Liam is "star of the week" this week, and gets to bring in something special for show and share. He decided he wanted to bring his hamster in to show his friends. So, with his teacher's permission, Max and I hauled Harry and his cage to the kindergarten classroom today! Liam's friends were very excited about it and crowded around the cage for a look!
Mrs. V had everyone sit in a circle on the floor and then Liam sat in the center with the hamster cage and talked about it! His speech went a little something like this:
"This is my hamster, Harry. Sometimes my mom calls him 'Harold'! Hamsters are a lot of work and you have to be really responsible to take care of them. You have to feed them and clean their cages. If you take very good care of them, they can live up to three years."
He then took questions from all his friends, which varied from "what is there toilet paper in his house for?" to "can a hamster climb onto your head?" He was so well spoken I almost cried. His soon-to-be Doctor of Communications auntie would be proud of him!
I forgot my camera, so you'll just have to trust me that it was super cute!
