Summer is Boring

My daughter is bored.   She is very bored.  And of course all the things we suggest she do she doesn't want to do.   One thing she never tires of is playing with the guinea pigs though.   Although I have a worry with them.  They are the kindest, sweetest animals you could imagine.  They have massive teeth that could tear us to shreds, but they never bite. 

Okay, Cheerio bites, but he mostly nibbles, which you can use to your advantage because it tells you when he's ready to go back to the cage (typically to go to the bathroom, but he might also be tired of being held)

The Critical Sibling:  My son really needs to work on his positivity.  He almost always, without fail, tells his sister she's doing something wrong with how she holds or does things with the guinea pigs.   She handles it well, but I wish he would look at things more positively sometimes.
