(Sep. 19th)

We broke down. For our family home evening we headed to the pet store. We found a new fish tank, and Jameson picked out some plants and rocks. We were going to get fish, except the water needs to be filtered for a few days before adding fish. How are you supposed to tell a 3 year old we’re getting a fish tank, but no fish? So instead, we brought home a snail.

Jameson’s view of the fish tank…

The only living thing in this whole fish tank? Meet Elmo.

Elmo roamed the tank for a bout a week. Everyone that came over would look in the tank, and wonder what was in there. Then when we pointed out the snail, they looked at us like we were crazy to get that big of a tank for a snail. I am happy to report that Elmo has now been joined by Glowy and Spike the 2nd. (By the way, if you need any pets named, just ask Jamo. He doesn’t even hesitate when naming pets.)
