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.

This is hilarious!! Poor Ethel...I hope she makes it through the week!! I love the shot of Soph with her serious face. Her hair is getting so long and she's losing all of her little baby fat...she's growing up so quickly!

Your little girl is beautiful and her facial expressions are hilarious! I'm afraid poor Ethel doesn't have much of a chance.

How sweet to pet her fishy- her personality seems a lot like Julia's. I LOVE your montessori shelves with the manipulatives. You are definitely a montessori mama! Thanks so much for your comments on my blog- you are such an encouragement!
