New Fish and a Funny Song

We have been having problems keeping Samantha in her own bed at night. We always have to lay in her bed until she falls asleep. Then about 3am she wakes up and wants more apple juice and she wants to get in bed with us. I saw a special on Good Morning America a few weeks ago that had steps and tips for getting your kid to sleep in their own bed, by themselves. Tip #1: Get your child a small pet like a hamster or fish. Hamsters stink, so we opted for fish.

We went to Petland with every intention of spending about $20 for a goldfish, a bowl, and some rocks. We were told by the guy that worked there that goldfish were kinda dirty and the bowl needs to be cleaned often. Plus, I was really grossed out about having to put the fish in a cup for cleanings. Long story short: We ended spending about $100 on a fish tank, rocks, vacuum, thermometer, water conditioner, decorative backsplash, and two guppies that cost $3.65 each.

Sammy doesn't seem very interested in them, so great. Our plan has failed.

We bought two male guppies and Samantha named the black and silver one Mickey and the orange and blue one Dorothy (like the goldfish in Elmo's World)

There's Dorothy, not sure where Mickey is.

Here she is singing a song she learned in daycare a while back. She developed a renewed interest in it when she learned how to make the "pop" sound with her finger in her mouth. Here are the lyrics:

"Two fat sausages sitting in a pan
One went "pop" and the other went BAM!"
