We went to the pet store the other day to
look at
bunnies...minutes later we walked out with a turtle. I'm still in shock. It feels like we brought home a newborn again. Didn't we just do this 4 months ago?! He has to have a light on to keep him warm, he needs vitamins in his water, he needs a rock to sit on when he gets cold and a plant to play with, he needs a clean tank EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS, he keeps you up at night with his screechy nails scraping the side of the aquarium, and I'm pretty sure he will need a brother or sister to keep him company...and the kicker- Jack told me he wants a fish instead of his turtle! So.he.is.
my.newborn. Maybe I should send out a birth announcement.
