A sad sad day.....

It was a sad sad day in my house yesterday. Jackson revived a pet fish as a birthday give away
( amazing gift thanks Mandy and Reagan). He fell so in love with it that my husband and I decided to go out on Sunday and get a bigger tank and another fish. Jackson said that "fish the fish" ( yep that's his name) needed a friend. So we took a trip to Petsmart and let Jackson pick another fish who he named fish the fish2 (creative right :)) After being at working and chatting with the girls about fish and how much Jackson loved his we get home and Jackson goes right to the fish tank and says.."Mommy where is fish the fish 2?" I am in the other room and come walking in when he says" oh there he is stuck in the tree"... so  we had to flush fish the fish 2 down the toilet and have a talk and of course cry about fish the fish 2. After a snuggle and big hugs he was ok with it. Then my husband got home about a half and hour later and when he walked in Jackson says " Oh daddy I have bad news. Fish the fish 2 died! Because he did not eat!" Then he says can we go to Petsmart to get another fish! Ahhh the joys of being a kid and a fish owner. :)
