......is a FISH! Yes, Lily got her very first pet today. It is a Betta fish. It is a male and she named him Boots. She was going to get a female and name her Dora, but the male was a prettier color so she chose him instead. She has wanted a fish for a long time, so I took her to the pet store today and got her one. Going to the pet store is a big deal for me. Pet stores give me anxiety. I am NOT an animal person and I get all panicked and nervous with animals staring at me in every aisle. We didn't tell dad ahead of time, but he didn't say much about it when we did tell him. We got him a little tank with some gravel and a plant. He is up high on Lily's dresser so little sis can't mess with him. Avery does think he is pretty neat too, but I just don't trust her with him. Who am I kidding...I don't really trust EITHER of them with a fish, but at least he came with a 30 day guarantee. Dead or alive, I can take him back and replace him with a brand new fish within the first 30 days. I wonder how long this one will last? We have talked about taking really good care of him, and feeding him, and cleaning his water.

So cute! She looks so happy! :)
I've been wanting to get Ayla a fish but haven't done it yet!
They are cheap and low maintenance so I figured we could handle it! The best part is if it dies in the first month they replace him free of charge! Avery loves him too!
