Ty has been asking for some fish for a long time and because his birthday and Christmas is so close together he thinks that he will keep getting presents though the whole month of January. We didn't have a problem getting him a couple of gold fish but I didn't want to just buy it for him when he is expecting gifts all the time now. So we deiced to have him earn his fish and fish tank. He spent a good week earning stickers for a chart we had by helping clean up toys, helping with dishes and eating his dinner really good etc. He got some stickers taken away when he was naughty but for the most part he was so good all week to earn the stickers. He had to get 30 of them and he was so proud when he got to pick out his fish. He named his two Nemo and Sharkbate and Blake named his fishy (cleaver eh?). Poor Sharkbate was pinned against the side of the tank when we bought him by the chick helping us and he died last Friday. I think she kind of squished him. Ty didn't seem to care too much because we prepped him for it. But we have the two left and Ty loves them.

I hope you don't mind I found your blog :) it is so fun to see what you are up to.., this post made me smile. Do you remember your goldfish from the school carnival that lasted FOREVER? Your boy's fish are in good hands :)
You are such an awesome mom. I love the sticker chart idea I just might do that. And the fish are so cute.
Poor Sharkbate, could have been the name...Kane has been trying to earn stickers to get some fish too!
