Dead fish

ok so it has been entirely too long since my last entry! I get caught up posting on facebook now a days. my goal this year is to keep up with all the sentimentals where it will be easy to find them later so to start with here's what happened today....6 days ago I took Wesley to Petco to pick out a goldfish (we ended up getting 2)

He earned it as a reward for working so hard at thinking of others before himself. Earned his last of 30 stickers to get the goldfish about 2 weeks ago. :) We considered Betas I had one growing up. Wes looked at them but was set on a goldfish. I gave him a choice of any goldfish in the store once he settled on those and tried to direct him to the fancy goldfish thinking they would live longer but he was set on the feeder ones.

I think it is funny that they gave me a 30 day warranty on the fish when they cost about a quarter each!

He named the fish Ollie and Furry! Furry is the speckled one and Ollie is the all orange one. He picked out Ollie first but Furry got named first.

Ollie was always a little skittish and would hide behind the plant or cave in the tank. If he was eating and you approached he would stop eating, so I've been worried about him since we brought him home. He seemed fine at the store... Anyway I went to feed the fish today while Jeremiah was napping and found Ollie floating upside down at the top of the tank. Wesley handled it well. He was on the office computer so I called him over and said I have some bad news one of your fish died. He saw the fish and watched me scoop it out and we went to the bathroom and he shook it out of the net and flushed him down. No tears but he was disappointed. We put the other one in some fresh water so I could clean the tank and he hugged the measuring cup it was in (one of those big pyrex ones) and said "Furry, I know youre sad but we'll get you a new brother soon." So I guess now we have to go get a new fish!

I'm so proud of my big boy for handling it so well.
Love you Wesley!

sunday school lesson

Today in Sunday school Wesley learned the song this little light of mine. He made cute little puppets on Popsicle sticks of his hands and a stick figure Wesley and sang me the song a couple times. At bath time tonight he was singing the song again and I asked him if he knew what it meant. He did. He said it was about Jesus and that Jesus lives in his heart and his light shines for Jesus in his heart because he loves him. I am so proud of him! Jeremiah started to annoy Wesley by scooting backwards in the tub into his space and Wes was so cute he said "Mommy, Jeremiah is trying to put the light out in my heart." made me laugh so hard! He is so sweet and I love him so much!

SO I realize I haven't written in a while I plan to come back with a more detailed update soon but just wanted to jot down a quick note before I forget. All morning Wesley has been pretending to be a Knife (Knight) wearing a knights helmet and some gardening gloves and roller skates! He said that is what knight's wear anyway now he is watching the sword in the stone for the first time and I wish I had taken a photo of the way he dressed up but I was in the middle of cleaning the bathroom so if he does it again I will be sure to whip out the camera, He is so cute! Love you Wesley!!
