I have to share a moment that happened this weekend with my lil 3 yob. My dear friend, abba-fathers_girl, and her family and my family all went to the beach this weekend and had a blast.We fished,played frisbee,played in the sand...flew a kite (HI Aunt Nina).Well... my 3yob picked up a 6 inch crocker (fish) that one of us caught. He played with that fish like it was he newest best friend. He drove it around like a car, tucked it up under his arm, sticking his finger in it's mouth.....but we could not get him to throw it back in the water. This went on for hours. Finally we were getting ready to leave and I told him to go down to the water and throw his fish "back to it's mommy" and he went to the edge of the waves and I turned around to get my 5 yob ready to go home. I then turned back to my 3yob and he was ready to get in the car. I stopped him and said told him we had to wash off before we left so I took him back to the water and took off his "Gilligan" hat and under his hat... ON HIS HEAD was this 6" fish!!!!!!!! He was taking it home! Can you imagine the smell in the car all the way home or getting home and finding this thing had been on his head??? After the shock of standing there holding up the fish in my boys hat and yelling at their daddy to see the clever stunt his son had pulled I rolled laughing. He thought he was going to be in trouble so the look on his face was priceless when all I could do was laugh ...and laugh! Then came Aunt Nina with some hermit crabs that he had ALREADY put in the car! He cried when we had to send his fish and the hermit crabs (his babies) back to their mommies. He has such a Big heart. My baby,My Joy! He soon forgot about his fish when we got home and he could play with his brothers and 4 cousins. But for keepsake... we did get pictures of him and his fish
