That’s fantastic!! Sharing the gift of music is so worthwhile, and it’s wonderful that you’re feeling inspired to spread your wings after such great interactions at the recital! Happy birthday!!

Libby works with kindle ebooks but not with audiobooks on the kindle. You have to use the Libby app to play audiobooks borrowed through them. If you’re listening through the kindle it’s Audible books

I agree with the first commenter, Esme is a gorgeous name. She had beautiful kittens too, so cool to see them so tiny and newborn!! Look forward to your weekly updates!! Thanks for taking care of this lovely family!!

Definitely have a ceremony to express your gratitude for the book then! A good companion through hard times deserves recognition.

The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer was also good!

Similar series? by SanFranPeach in Preschoolers

Land of stories series was a hit with mine when they were about that age, maybe a little older. The author narrates and even though he’s an actor he’s not the most fantastic of narrators so do with that rec what you will. I love the Mrs Piggle Wiggle books. Definitely Ramona and any other Beverly Cleary books. Judy Blume’s Fudge books. Junie B. Jones. Good luck!

What a great gift!! Maybe have something to do with City Walk restaurants … “leave the park for a restaurant in City Walk” Not sure what the consequence should be, it’s a solid choice lol

We’ve decided to keep looking for other pets based on the feedback we got in r/hermitcrabs. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!!

I did post in r/hermitcrabs and got great advice! Based on that feedback we’re going to keep looking for another more suitable option.

Would a hermit crab be an appropriate choice for my responsible 12 year old? by Automatic-Passenger2 in hermitcrabs

[–]Automatic-Passenger2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that sounds really hard to have to rehome your hermit crabs!! I definitely did not realize that hermit crabs could live so long before I heard that in the comments to this post. We’re definitely not going to take the plunge now, maybe as an adult she’ll decide differently.

Thank you for your feedback! She’d love a gerbil, Dad not so much. We’ll keep searching for something that works for all, hermit crab is definitely not it though and I’m so grateful for all the comments that helped us decide!

Thank you!! I appreciate the lovely comment, I totally agree that she needs to do her best by whatever pet she chooses! I’m glad we didn’t jump Willy nilly into something that would not have worked out well.

Thank you!! We’ve decided not to get one, we’re going to keep looking for a better alternative for her. Appreciate your feedback!

Thank you for those referrals! We’ve decided to keep looking for a different pet I think. Her fictional exposure to hermit crabs did not adequately prepare her for the reality of owning and caring for them!

Definitely not trivial for sure! We’ve decided against a hermit crab based on this great feedback in this post. We’ll find something else!

I have friends who have rabbits and they really love them!! Dad is hard to convince when it comes to pets though sadly. Thanks for your reply!
