When I got home after that last entry, I picked through all my paused Tamas to find the perfect mate for my little Kuchipatchi baby. I saw that Arini and her daughter were waiting for some action on Purple Tama. So I unpaused them and started taking them around with me. They went on a few adventures in my purse to the bookstore and such. They got to hang out next to my iPhone in my purse.

Last night, Arini departed while I was asleep, and this morning I woke up to raise her baby daughter, future wife of Desul the Kuchipatchi. I named her Foba and raised her over breakfast. I've taken her to work with me. It's been ages since I had a little baby at work! She just transformed into a Marutchi.

I'd almost gotten rusty at raising Tamagotchis. There were a few times in the past few days that I forgot entirely to check on Purple Tama. But you know what's a great cure for that? Raising a brand new little baby, who is so loving and dependent. Looking down at that blobby little face, your heart just melts and you want to take care of it with attentive gentleness! V1 babies are perhaps among the cutest babies in the world of Tamagotchi.
