Cute

The other day we rewarded Sophia with a post Winco shopping treat: a visit to Petco.  While Sophia ran frantically between the “teet teet” (birds), the “woof woof” (dogs), and the “fffffff” (fish), we had decided to give in to our indulgent parent side and buy Sophia a goldfish.  She named him Cute.  We figure that his days are numbered, but he is certainly well loved.  Sophia cradled and kissed him through the plastic baggie all the way home.  He does live in our salad spinner, which I’m sure we will want back again soon, but it works for now. 

Note: Cute (#1) has since died after 1 week of life. We loved that goldfish and we were sorry to see him go. He was replaced (promptly) by Cute 2.0 - a blue and purple Beta. 

(And we are happily washing our lettuce again, as we indulged in a $0.50 glass bowl from a rummage sale.)
