Our Fish Update

One of Eli's fish died. I noticed it when I got home from taking him to school. I saved it for him because I knew that he would want to flush it. After picking him up I told him that I had bad news and that his fish died. He said "oh that's too bad. I'm not going to cry." Then he said, "can I hold it? Can I flush it?"

Hmmm that was easy. Stacy's kids cried when their fish died. I wonder if Eli has my emotional attitude. I used to have a really hard time crying and I remember thinking, "I should be crying right now" when something sad was happening. I'd then try to squeeze out a few tears.

I guess I'll wait to see what happens when the second fish dies.
