Mock Teddy Bear Surgery

The Austin Humane Society hosted a mock teddy bear surgery. We all went, but not with bears. Speed took a bird ("It's actually a parrot, Mommy."), Sunshine took Snoopy, Chickadee took a little bear-used-to-be-dog-toy she acquired at my parents' house, and Junebug took a bunny.

Each kid got to listen to their animal's heart, put a bandaid on, give it a shot, and wrap a bandage around an appendage. This event was lost on Junebug (the sign up actually said two and up but I couldn't get myself to feel ok about leaving her out). The other three though....oh man, did they eat this stuff up!

Chickadee was incredibly serious the whole time, Speed asked questions, and Sunshine--unusual for her--jumped right in. It was the cutest thing ever.
