I'm sad to report that the Monkey informed me tonight that Cora, Trae, and Ingrid are now his old friends. Kaitlyn is his new best friend. His only best friend.
Me: But didn't you say that Kaitlyn was a little bossy?
Monkey: (happily indignant) She's my best friend! She's not bossy!!!
Me: Oh. Right. Sorry.
Today they drew pictures of birdhouses...a complicated series of squiggles which the Monkey and I are supposed to construct into an actual (blue) birdhouse before school tomorrow...with a little ladder for the worms and bugs to crawl up so the birds will have food waiting for them when they come to visit the birdhouse.
I think I liked the old best friends better. There were no parental requirements and I'm pretty sure no creatures had to willingly offer themselves up as breakfast for three robins and a big brown bear.
...he ignored me when I pointed out that a bear (of any color or size) was not, in fact, a bird.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da...

Kaitlyn's totally a little Kappa Kappa Gamma in training!
It does sound like a pretty handy system for the birds and their grizzly friend, though - may I suggest some sort of an s-bend trough? Bugs could climb a ladder but not the worms, and you wouldn't want to clutter the foyer with separate entrances.
Ooh...excellent point on the front elevation.
I should scan in the blueprint we're working from though...you'd see the difficulty I'm having with interpreting the architecht's intent...
