We have added another member to our family. Today we did purchase a goldfish. The name still is to be determined. My mom wants swooshy (Arianna can't say it). So we wait for our 2 1/2 year old to name the fish. The realization of 3 adults from a trip to the pet store with a 2 1/2 year old:
1. Do not let the 2 1/2 year old carry the fish afterwards: Ari looks up at me and says mommy, look...the bag is upside down. Praise God for the clerk who rubberbanded the top very tightly
2. Make sure the bag the fish is taken home in is short enough to not drag on the ground while the 2 1/2 year old is carrying it... conversation while getting in the car "oh my, the bag is leaking... give me another bag." My dad "I think we lose about 20 drops of water every mile... how far are from the house."
3. Do not take a tired 2 1/2 year old to get a fish... While this conversation of the leaky bag is going on, Ari proceeds to arch her back and fight with Grandma because she wants to hold the fish and doesn't want to get in the car...
Nonetheless, the fish and everyone arrived home safely...
Isaac is doing well still today. He had another 15 gram (1/2 ounce) weight gain last night. When I went to see him this morning he proved to still be a busy boy. His little hands were up by his face then I saw something moving right under his chin... his foot appeared out of the top of his blanket. Wow is he limber. David & I went back tonight to see him. It is true, you can love 2 children with equal amounts of love. I never thought it was possible... but it is!
