i wanna call him BLUE

It was gab's lucky day yesterday.. He said he wanted a blue fish and the store luckily got one blue fighting fish for sale. Half a month ago, we went to Pasir Ris Kid's Kampong and gab had fun fishing and animal feeding. He's been telling us a lot that he wants to have a pet fish and yesterday we got him one.

He was so happy!
Dad is so happy!
I am also very happy!

It's nice when we get the chance to spend weekend time getting things or going to places that we know will be forever part of the history of our family!

It's a Monday morning and gab excitedly woke up and greeted his fish!

Good morning blue! It's a sunny day, see?!

Elmo the Fighting fish

We bought a fish bowl and a Fighting fish for Gabriel. Fighting fish is the only one available at the pet shop which does not require filters, aerators and big tanks according to the attendant at the store. Since the fish is red and Gab cannot talk yet to give his first pet a name, his dad decided to call it Elmo.

Gab is entertained just by watching Elmo swim. He’s very happy when he feeds his pet every morning. Dad let’s him watch every time we clean the fish bowl too.

Having Elmo has already taught Gab to be careful; like the glass fish bowl should not be pushed and that he should not shake it or Elmo will die. For only less than a week, Gab already learned to care for his pet. He would normally ask someone to come with him (every morning) while he check Elmo. He knows where the jar (for Elmo’s food) is. He’d point at the jar to tell us he wants to feed Elmo. Surely, having his first pet will teach him a lot more things in the coming days.

It’s great that there's a lot to discover when it comes to finding ways that will both educate and make our kid happy.
