MJ

The kindergarten class hamster came home with us for the weekend. His name is Michael Jackson, MJ for short. The whole class voted on the name.

We were very popular at the bus stop after school. And the entertainment for the rest of the weekend was set. Although we did have to wait for David to get home before MJ was taken out of the cage.

Noah was very careful and gentle. He made sure the hamster had enough water and food and even cleaned out the cage.

Gage could not contain his excitement. He wanted to hold that hamster. and pet him. and hug him. and keep him forever. When Michael was in the ball Gage put him in a box with a blanket, tucked him in, sang him songs, and even said his bedtime prayer:

"Dear Heavenly Father. I am so so happy that MJ is here. Please bless my Mommy and my Daddy and my brother. Bless that MJ won't have scary dreams. Amen."
