"I want to hold Digory, Grandma." Lucy was a little uncomfortable with the new birds. She held "Alex" on her arm for a moment, then she was ready for Grandma to take him back. She still loves "Digory" the guinea pig, the best. "Take my picture with "Digory", Grandma!" So, we took pictures. Lucy with "Digory" then, Jacob with "Digory". Then, I couldn't resist, just one picture of Jacob with "Alex".This was, of course, after we went "bug-huntin" and had dinner. I think it is really cool that my grandchildren are learning how to handle small animals gently and lovingly. Although, "Digory" is still reigning as the current favorite, Jacob was very interested in the Quakers. I only let them handle "Alex", "Lexus" is too shy and unpredictable. I want to instill respect for the creatures, in Jacob and Lucy, not fear. So, their visits are well supervised. I was also impressed with the level of patience "Alex" showed for one small boy.
