the circle of life

this week the girls learned about the circle of life....their betta fish "fishy boy" died on monday. alexis was so upset and cried so hard. taylor just said bye fishy boy and she flushed him down. stephen tried to explain that pets and people die and that everything cant live for forever. he reminded her about her grandpa's dog dying but he got a new one and the old on is in doggie heaven. once she calmed down a bit she asked him if our dog woody would die and he said yes eventually woody will die but not for a while...she didnt like that answer and she ran to him and cried on woody telling him not to die. oh no!!! so yesterday we went to the pet store and they each picked out thier own new fishy boy. alexis chose a beautiful blue betta fish she named cinderella and taylor chose a white betta with purplish in the tail that she named nemo....i know shes an original :o)...... so now we have new fishy boys and hopefully they live for as long as our first fishy boy did!!
