Nemo Sushi

Kenna got a few presents...WallE, The Little Mermaid 2, some other Ariel movie (Disney never stops!), clothing, shoes, a bubble maker, a plastic "princess" (Disney again!) tea set, "stamps" by Melissa & Doug (rubber ink & stamp set for kids), and a Dora drawing book. Everyone was very generous with her! All of those presents are cool, but Meghan's gift takes the cake...a fish. A fish is about all the responsibility a three year old can handle, probably:-) All she has to do is feed it one pellet per day. It's a beta fish, as they can live in the little eco system you see going on in the vase...they eat on the roots or whatever. Meghan had a beta fish for quite a few years, and so she passed on the supplies and went with Kenna to pick out her own fish.

This fish was selected because it was the most active, but is not the most beautiful. When we ok'd the fish plan we discussed what we would name it, and Brian came up with Sushi, and I thought that was so cute. Upon seeing the fish in the store he was immediately dubbed Nemo. When she brought him home and Brooksie saw he him, the first word out of his mouth was also Nemo! They seem to have forgotten about that now, I just refer to the fish as Sushi and they are following suit. Brooks says "Sue-see". I really didn't feel like having a fish named Nemo...I think kids ought to be much older until they are allowed to name living things.

He's on the entertainment centre, under the tv. If he is tampered with we will have to find another place, but so far they are very good about only looking and not tapping on the glass and so on.

Trying to catch his colours, hard to do when he's swimming around. He's sort of orange like Nemo:-)
