This is Azul, Tessa's first pet! She is so excite to have him and treats him as her best friend. He came to be because she saw one at a shipping store we stopped in at and thought he was the coolest thing. So we walked down the strip mall to the Aquarium Jungle to look at the fish. The sales lady was so nice and let Tess sit at the counter, put all the different colored fish in front of her and let her pick which one she wanted. Tess then got to pick out the marbles for the bottom of the bowl as well and the food and net. The sales woman then let Tess feed him and showed her (me) how to keep his water clean. Tessa thought it was so much fun and it was so great to see her so excited. On the drive home we talked about names for her new friend and she must have shot down at least ten that I gave her. I then realized that it needed to be something she said often and would relate to. So, Azul was the winner! For those that aren't up on their Spanish, azul means blue. Steve has taught Tess a few colors in Spanish, but azul seems to be the one she always remembers. Anyway, she's so excited to have him. She stands at the table and talks to him and gets mad when he's not facing her and will tell him to look at her, haha. It's fun for me to watch her learn and be so fascinated by this small fish. We'll keep you posted on how long he lives, haha!
