For 5 years, Parker has had a 26 cent Walmart goldfish for a pet. He has faithfully turned on his light every morning, fed it 8 pellets everyday, kept it's tank clean and been a good roomate to "Goldie". So, for kindergarten graduation we told him he could pick out a new pet since he demonstrated such maturity and responsibility this past year. At first he was very gung-ho on a hermit crab and we thought that would be the pet of choice but in recent weeks he became increasingly interested in getting a bird. Then by coincidence my mom got 2 baby parakeets which peaked an even higher interest. Well, this morning we embarked on a journey to Petsmart and bought a cute little blue parakeet. The kids are smitten and I even think the bird kinda likes us;-)
SIDENOTE: While we were out buying the bird, Parker lost a
3rd tooth... This time he has an empty space to show for it!
