Rex loves animals. No really, more than almost any human I’ve ever met in my life, the kid is bonkers for any moving object that doesn’t fall into the people category.
He wants a pet. Guess how I know?
Each animal has been carefully placed to observe Harrison's piano concert.
Um, Snowmen are animals too.
But here’s the one that really brought it home for me. Today, getting ready for show and tell, Rex asked if he could take “fish”. Sure, I thought, we’ll put a lid on him and off you go.
But after seeing him come home with his fish, I realized that I am a really lame mother. The kid needs a real live pet, and judging by today’s selection, I don’t think he’s that picky.
Yeah, that's a hybrid combination of two broken plastic fishies from the "Go Fish!" game.
Uh oh, looks like someone needs to clean the tank.
Don’t cave. DON’T. CAVE. Do what we do: tell your kids they can have all the pets they want once they move out of the house.
Pet rock?
My kids have been asking for a pet lately, I told them if they could keep their room clean for a month they could earn a pet. HA! They will NEVER get a pet!
Luckily you have the “moving to Germany” excuse… maybe once there, you can get another Beta?
That is so cute.
I held off as long as I could, but now I’m actually really happy with our pet…she’s a part of the family now 🙂
