I am going crazy living in an apartment and not being able to have a pet! Since the kids loved seeing the giant fish tank at Bass Pro, I decided to buy 5 feeder fish and put them in a tank I found at the thrift store for $3. I named them Wilson, Bruster, Koko, Thomas, and Percy- all train names from either Thomas the train or from Chuggington (their new favorite show).So the tank keeps getting nasty so everyday I have to clean their darn tank! I call Petco to see what I am doing wrong- the guy laughed at me! Goldfish are really nasty fish and make a lot of waste- I guess five fish in a tiny tank was a bad idea sooo Thomas and Percy had to go bye bye. I bought five so I would have a bigger chance of at least one of them living.
Anyways, Bradley and Kiersten LOVE the fish! They drag chairs over there so they can climb up and talk to the fish. The first few days they wanted to see the fish every five minutes- it was so hard to keep their concentration on anything else. They grab the fish food cans and try to feed them all the time. We've only had one accident of the lid coming off but the food went on the floor and not in the tank. The tank is far back enough on the counter so they can't reach in there and pet them.
Kiersten calls the fish bop bops- I tried to teach her- what do the fish say? Bloop Bloop! You know- like little bubbles coming to the surface?
And Bradley just signs please and points. That is his new thing. He signs please and thinks he can get anything he wants. He will sign please to Kiersten and then steal her toys or whatever she has in her hands or get in to anything he wants. He will know he is not suppose to do something so he will sign please and then do it. His favorite thing is he will sign and then stand next the door and try to open it, I don't know why.
