Announcing the arrival of....


Goldie and Henry! My son, Aiden, has been asking for a pet fish for quite some time. Last night, we headed to Pet Smart and let him he pick out two gold fish.

Words cannot describe the excitement of this experience! I'm happy to report that both fish have survived the night. Motherhood is awesome! :)

What was your child's first pet?

That is too cute!!! When Aaron was born we had a dog-Lucy. Unfortunately she developed an allergy to us (the vet thought it was the carpet) and so she moved to my grandparents house. Luckily they live right behind of us! We have had fish for the last 3 years though, and the boys LOVE them!!

we've always had a cat and a dog, but the first pet that my daughter picked out was a beta fish that she named, for unknown reasons, Pencil-Wrecker. Yeah, I'm not sure where that came from either. LOL

My daughter needed 2 goldfish for a science project last year. The project lasted 2 weeks, but I really didn't expect the goldfish to last the entire two weeks. Six months later and they are still going strong! Now why can't I do that with house plants/ ;)
