We also added a few new members to our household....fish.
Eden has been BEGGING for pet fish for ages and we kept saying "When we move to Kansas City" and then we got here and we had to pay for this and that and fish kept getting delayed. But we could break her heart no longer and finally got her fish.
We ended up getting guppies from a neighbor after her fish had babies. So, they are teeny, tiny little guys....six of them to be exact (obviously they are small since the first picture looks just like an empty tank. The biggest one (shown above) is named Bruce. He is the only fish with a real name, partially because he's the only one we can tell apart from the others since he is quite a bit larger than the rest. Eden is pretty insistent that she wants to name one of them Gloria...but we are unsure which one.
The girls love their little fish. They supposedly get their fun colors as they grow older, but for now they are pretty colorless. Eden doesn't seem to mind. She loves feeding her fish and being with her fish. It was well work it to get these fish.

Have you ever read the book "Franklin's New Pet"? Reminds me so much of Eden. Fish are perfect pets! Eva will be jealous! :)
What fun. Where do kids get the names they give pets and dolls? Their certainty is so puzzling (and entertaining) to me. Gloria is a great name for a guppy.
Fun! Guppies reproduce like crazy!!! Don't be surprised if u all of a sudden have 30 fish in there! We love guppies!
