Yesterday Reuben got a zhou zhou hamster for Christmas. (Because we've been in transit some of our Christmas presents are still finding their way to us. The situations has really prolonged the holiday magic) A zhou zhou is a small furred animal with buttons that can't bite, escape or die. It's the perfect toy. Reuben has been chasing it all day. I never would have thought of getting it for him but he loves it.
And it's pretty funny to watch and think, yah, if it was real it would have died right -ouch- now, and again and wow, again. Even though it is just a toy, I'm still trying to teach him to be nice to it so he can develop compassion towards living and seemingly living things. But in the meanwhile it's nice that he can have some harmless practice.

So cute. He's a smart little kid.
He has become very sweet with the living animals at our home.
