Having fish is supposed to be calming and relaxing. And I am hoping that by giving Sam something to take care of, and focus some of her attention on, it will mellow her out a little. This is definitely something Sam needs.
Grandma and Grandpa Toppall got Sam a very cool 10 gallon aquarium (trimmed in pink no less!). It came with everything but the fish and water. Once we got back from our trip to Philadelphia, we set up the tank and made a trip to the pet store to purchase some fish. These are the 2 little guys Sam picked out. She named them "Bubbly" and "Bubbly". Sort of like, "Darryl" and "Darryl".
It's quite cute that when Sam leaves her room, she turns to her fish and says, "Good-bye fish". The first night she had them in her room, she must've decided they were in need of a late-night snack, because we found fish food all over her floor. Oy! Note to self: Keep fish food out of her reach.
Our fish died sooooo fast. I think the boys had more fun flushing it down the toilet than anything :) I hope yours are swimming for a long time!
ReplyDeleteAnn, oh no! How long did they make it? Did they die at the same time? Were they goldfish or another type? If we end up killing these, we will switch to 1 Beta fish. I've been told they are much more stable than goldfish.
