meet steve.

The Dake's first family pet. That's right, we have a pet. Jason is always asking about pets, but we are just really not in the position for a "real" pet. We move and vacation way too much. Anyway when we were at Walmart yesterday, browsing the toys, I saw the fish. I was so sad by the way they are handle there. I mean, it's Walmart for cryin out loud, and the betas are all in like 1" of water, probably rarely fed and half dead, so I felt like we were able to rescue at least one! I know, goofy right? Meet Steve.

Well you can imagine Jason's excitement! We got the bowl, a few supplies, picked the fish and we were on our way. NOTICE: I WENT WITH A SOLID COLOR FISH IN CASE OF EMERGENCY REPLACEMENT! Next I asked Jason what he wanted to name the fish. I was thinking he'd say Thomas for sure, but he said, "Umm, Steve." What a choice! I thought it was perfect, but wondered where that name came from. We came straight home and got Steve's home all set up. Later I spoke to his preschool teacher and found out the the class fish's name is Steve.
