Pickles

So Giff had this fun idea to get Jaden a fish for his first pet. He was shocked when he talked to me about it and I thought it would be a great idea. Well...we went to Petsmart and Jaden picked out a beta fish. Jaden and Ty decided first to name it fish-y and finally decided to call him Pickles. Needless to say, Jaden was super excited about his new pet. For some reason, the next day, Pickles was floating on top of the bowl taking a "permanent nap" so we called it and during the boys' nap time we had to do a switch-a-roo to get a replacement Pickles. It was pretty hilarious because the boys came out of their naps and Ty says, "I didn't know that fish could change colors. That's cool!" Jaden didn't know anything was different at all. He said, "Hi Pickles, my name is Jaden." about 50 times yesterday and today...reasons why the Giff Nielson family should not have pets. We can't even keep Pickles going. :)
