Seth had surgery to remove the rod and screws from his femur exactly one week ago. I told him he could get a pet hermit crab when he started walking again. He was very brave and started walking on Tuesday! Today he had a doctor's appointment and his bandages were removed. He can go swimming tomorrow! Yipee! He likes taking care of his hermit crab. He named him Crabby and he loves the double meaning.
Cousins came over the day we got the hermit crabs (Jana had a doctor appt nearby). They held the crabs and had cute conversations about what the crabs liked and how they were feeling. I'm liking this pet because they can hold it and feel more attached (before we had Gophiss the snake who was way too scary to hold).
Jonah picked out a hermit crab too. He dropped his little hermit crab twice onto the hard floor within minutes of getting home. We've made a hard and fast rule to hold the critters over the kitchen table. I think the dropping was partly because he was still a little nervous to hold the crab. Jonah likes to make sure his crab is well misted with a little sprayer we bought.
