For Christmas, Owen and Joe each got a Hatchimal from my mom. This morning we
decided to start the hatching process, and what a process it was. There was a lot of waiting,
and we all took turn nurturing and soothing them as they were trying to hatch.
All of our hard work paid off though because eventually both eggs started to hatch. In order
to hatch, the little Hatchimal inside the egg turns in a circle and pecks his beak through the
shell. It is actually pretty funny to watch. What's even funnier to watch is both boys with
their eggs. Owen was so gentle and sweet with his egg. He sat with it on his lap, gently
rubbed it and carefully hugged it. Joe on the other hand was super rough with his egg and
kept picking it up and shaking it around, not following any of the instructions we were given.
Wouldn't you know, Joe's egg started hatching first. Ha!
These things are hilarious, but I'm a little nervous I just added two more kids to my crew.
You have to feed them when they're hungry, cuddle them when they're scared, pat them
when they have the hiccups, calm them when they're mad, and play with them when they're
happy. Thank goodness at least these two new kids have an off switch.
