Cute? Not quite. But getting closer!


So with another nice day to play outside we got another chance to check on our nest of robins. We've decided that while they're not officially cute yet, they are at least moving in that direction. The girls have enjoyed watching the parents bring food to the babies today. They were shocked when a mayfly was delivered yesterday, but they were amazed when a full-size worm was delivered to one open-mouthed baby today.


As for the girlies, they are already cute and get more intelligent and hilarious by the day. Boo is currently going through a fearful phase that centers around wasps/hornets while we're outside. She's never been stung but knows that it's possible which seems to really upset her. She's very lucky to have one sister (Hanny) who is exceptionally caring and compassionate and makes sure she comforts Boo during her troubles. Doodle doesn't feel the need to be quite as compassionate to her twin and basically tells her to get over it. Obviously, sensitive little Boo doesn't respond well to the "tough love" she gets from Doodle! Every day is a lesson in compassion around here!
