We had a little fishy funeral today. Kaden got Swimy over a year ago from Market Day at school. At Market Day the kids all have little stores where they sell goods. It's an exercise in managing money. One of Kaden's purchases was this little fish. And believe me, he was small when he purchased him. I really didn't think he'd survive in our tank but he did...and he grew and grew. He was about 1/3 of this size when we got him and he seemed to just thrive with us. I came home tonight and found him floating and had to break the news to Kaden. Kaden always considered him "his" fish and it hit him pretty hard. We decided to have a little funeral, just him and I, and I think it helped. He made this little place to lay him and was surprised when he made the box for him to lay in that he was actually bigger than the box he drew!
