Adventures With Normus

Em's Pre-K class has a pet guinea pig named Normus.  Each week, a different child is named the zoologist.  They are in charge of helping feed Normus and cleaning his cage.  At the end of the week, they have the option to bring Normus home for the weekend.  Em has been waiting a long time, but a couple of weekends ago, it was finally her turn to be the zoologist.  We took Normus home on Friday night and both kids were super excited about having him at home.  I'll be honest, I wasn't too excited about Normus at first, but it actually ended up being kind of nice to have an animal in the house again.  Both kids loved petting him and Emily was really good about remembering to feed him and change his water and the cage.  Both kids were pretty sad when Monday morning rolled around and it was time to take Normus back to school.
