Tom Thumb or Hunca Munca?




This adorable baby mouse - along with his/her brother or sister - made an appearance at my parents' house not too long ago.  My sister first found them asleep together in near some tall grasses in my parents' backyard landscaping, then we saw this little guy or gal again, chilling by him/herself in the wood chips.  Baylor has been very into Beatrix Potter books lately and has really fallen in love with The Tale of Peter RabbitThe Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and The Tale of Two Bad Mice, in particular.  The last of those features two mice, Tom Thumb and his wife Hunca Munca, so these baby mice have been named as such.  Since we don't know the mice's actual gender, we just guess at who we've seen.  Whomever they are, though, they are certainly cute!
