R.I.P. Nemo

{introducing Nemo #2}

It was so sad - I was wiping off our counter and saw him stuck in-between some rocks and the side of the bowl so I frantically tried to remove the rocks, but was already too late. Poor little Nemo had died. I showed him to Jayde and told him he died and went to heaven and she was like, "Mama he's sleeping!"

She didn't get it, but hey at least it was a good learning experience. Poor guy. So we cleaned his bowl and went to Petco that night to get Nemo version 2... or Nemo #2 (whatever you want to call it). We figured we'd still call him Nemo to not confuse Jayde. The first one only lasted about 2 weeks.

So here is our second family fish in his new home with some new smaller rocks might I add. We don't want another pet death anytime soon!

He isn't as pretty as our first fish and swims a little funny but that's ok with us. He's starting to grow on me because he has his own little personality. If he's on the other side of the 'tank' and sees me looking at him, he will stop whatever he's thinking about, and swim SUPER FAST  toward me and then stop and just stare. It's pretty funny.

so we got a fish...

...and I think I was more excited about it than Jayde was if that's even possible.
One Saturday we went to Petco to show her the animals and I told Tyson we should get a fish
-so-
I convinced Tyson that Jayde (secretly meaning me) would love one, and gave ourselves (meaning him) a week to think about it.
I seriously thought about it every day and got Jayde's all pepped up for it.
So that next Saturday we went to two pet stores to find the perfect fish and his home decor.

She is loving him, and I'm so glad because I love animals and I want her to also.
((so she can convince her daddy that we need a dog))

Even though a fish technically isn't an animal - but that's besides the point.
I figure it's baby steps for Tyson's sake since he's never really had a pet growing up (isn't that sad?!)

Anyways - She named him Nemo.
