Quade, Avery, Kaevin and soon to be Irelin, have had an amazing preschool teacher, Mrs. Walters. Mrs. Walters has a few class pets and one is a rat named Reader. Avery fell in love with Reader this last school year and Mrs. Walters said she would get to babysit him some day.
Mrs. Walters had shoulder surgery last week and we are taking care of Reader. Avery is thrilled. Really, everyone is pretty excited about it. Irelin calls him "Mr. Walters".
He's pretty darn cute and even cuter knowing he isn't a permanent member of the family.
