We moved the babies and Jane (of course) into a 10 gallon tank that The Girl scrubbed out yesterday. We sterilized the heck out of it without using dangerous chemicals. Hope it's OK. The kids bought bedding and a water bottle today. We are going to need to go and buy new lab blocks (food) soon. Jane keeps peeing in her food bowl. Naughty Jane!
We went to the library today and got some books on mice. While I was reading to The Boy tonight, The Girl got out one of the books and was reading it to herself (when will I get stop getting excited about how awesome it is that my now-former kindergartner can read actual books to herself now?). She was learning the parts of the mouse (basic stuff, but still). Very fun!
I took photos of each mouse pup during the change over and play session but somehow only got usable photos of six of them. I guess it's hard to juggle baby mice, a phone, and a six-year-old. Plus I'm not sure I can tell all of them apart just by looking at the photos. So I guess what I'm saying is, don't get attached to me saying that they are Baby 1 or 6 or whatever in the photos below. Tomorrow it'll be different. I think The Girl named one of the Jelly or something today. I can't even remember. I guess with record keeping, I'm hit and miss!
We need to take more photos of them next to a ruler so you can see how much they've grown; however, I seem to have lost my ruler. That's the way things roll in my house.
Anyway, enjoy the photos of six of our eight babies!
