One Fish, Two Fish, Red fish, BLUE FISH

When I got home from work yesterday my husband and son were taking their afternoon naps. They had spent the day together and had many wonderful adventures - guy time. I went in Sage’s room to check on him and noticed some new items on his headboard.

Sage and the Blue Fish "talking"

There was a fish bowl, blue rocks, an imitation sea  anemone, fish food, water conditioner, and in a small container next to the fish bowl a blue beta fish. The story I got when the boys awoke was that Sage had sweet talked daddy into getting him a fish! Sage had picked everything out and was so excited to put his fish in the fish bowl.

We cleaned everything, put the rocks and imitation sea anemone in the bowl, added water and then the fish. Sage was grinning from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat. He was so filled with joy to watch is new pet. His first new pet (we had our dog before Sage was born).

Sage went into a great discussion on why he picked the rocks and decorations that he did.

The sea anemone was chosen so the fish would have a “comfy snuggly place to sleep”.

The blue rocks matched the blue fish and “that is important”.

The fish food, Sage claimed, was like ice cream for the fish so the fish would for sure want to eat it all and be “healthy and strong”.

I asked Sage what the fish’s name was “mom fish don’t need names they’re fish”

Sage has been doing great with feeding it (his chore) last night and again this morning he sprung out of bed so he could go feed “the fish”. This should be an interesting adventure. I’m praying the fish doesn’t die anytime soon…not sure how to handle that yet (any suggestions?)
