Aquaman

Recently Blake has shown some interest in fish! He was able to feed a friends fish and really enjoyed it. Since then, he has pointed out anytime a fish has been on tv or in real life.

I started to think that maybe a little fish would be a good age appropriate pet to have... and also maybe teach responsibility! Blake has been awesome recently, so I decided today would be a good day for a reward and a surprise!

We went to the pet store and Blake first picked out his Betta fish - he, of course, picked the blue one! I have to agree - they are the prettiest. He then picked a small 1 gallon fish aquarium for the fish. Blake liked the one with an LED light that changes colors. Then we picked the blue and green pebbles for the bottom of the tank. Finally, Blake got to pick out some little "toys" for the aquarium. He picked a submarine and a little crab. The submarine is actually really cool because the fish can swim into it and relax.

After getting home, we cleaned everything out and started putting together the fish's home! While doing that we named the fish. I tossed out a few cute fish names, like Bubbles. That was quickly shot down for Aquaman. Ok, Boy mom... got it! Super-fish!

Finally...Aquaman had an awesome home in Blake's room and Blake already fed him for the day! We are excited to have him as part of the family!
