Introducing...

Tiny the Fish!  This afternoon, after being such a good girl all day, Myla was surprised with her very own gold fish.  He's a little guy - hence the name Tiny - with a pretty fan tail.  She was very excited to pick out her own fish and to feed him his first dinner.  (She would have given him the whole can of food if we'd let her.)  We put him safe in the bookshelf where the cat can't scare him, but Myla can still see him.  She likes to open the door and say "Hello Tiny Fish."  She also wants to hold him, but I think we've gotten it through that you can't hold fish.  So she puts her little hands up there like she's holding him and says hello again and again.  Its very sweet.

This morning, Myla got to go crunching in the snow with her Aunt Aimee.  She was so excited that when she woke up this morning, she was already telling Aim to put on her boots.  Aimee wasn't here, so it seemed a little strange, but nevertheless, Myla told her.  And then tonight we went to the chili cook-off at the church.  John was in heaven.  Myla even tried some, although I think she liked the cornbread and chips better.  Its been a very busy day for such a little girl!

We were glad we got to hang with you guys at the cook-off :) Myla is too, too cute. What a fun idea for her to have her own fish! I'm sure she'll take good care of him, if the way she cares for her dollies is any indicator :)
