While visiting friends in Beijing, Dayna became enamored with their pet hamster. For years, she has been begging, pleading, and praying for a pet...specifically a cat or dog. But now, she's got hamster fever! Almost from the moment we set foot in our house after returning from China, Dayna had set up a hamster habitat in her room. Shoe box. Easter grass (for bedding). Torn blue paper (simulated water). Unpopped popcorn (food). Toilet paper tubes. And her Zhu Zhu pet.
She has changed the bedding, food and water every day, let the Zhu Zhu pet out to play for a little bit, and otherwise done every thing she could to prove she was ready for a pet. Her chores have been done in a timely manner, and every possible book about hamsters that is available in Eastern Nebraska has been checked out of the library, studied and memorized.
To Dayna's delight, we opened some birthday presents a little early on Sunday. We shall be shopping for Hammy the Hamster on Wednesday night.
