Sweepy
24th September
During our sharing time on Wednesday Levi's mum Dani bought in their new pet for the children to see. She was a rat named Sweepy. Levi told us all about what he feeds her, where she sleeps and how he looks after her. As you can see from the photos she really likes a cuddle and she likes to sit all cuddled up in the warm of your neck. The children loved meeting Sweepy and giving her a little pat. I am not a fan of rats but even I have to admit she was pretty cute!
