Ethel the Goldfish

Here is Soph's new goldfish, Ethel, named in memory of her great- aunt.



Soph's petting Ethel. I soon realize maybe this was not a good idea, because now she thinks she can always pet the fish.



"Mommy, I want to pet the fish now!"



"Please, please, take me back to Wal-mart ...." says Ethel.


This is why I should have never put the fish on her level.
I am taking bets now on how long Ethel is going to make it.

My little artist

Here is a picture of Soph painting a turtle at school one day.



This is her "say cheese" face. I love those cheeks!
