Last week I told Amy I was going to take her to the aquarium and she got very excited. She said "fssshhhh" all morning.

The errands that I had to run beforehand took longer than I expected and we didn't have time to make it to the aquarium. Not wanting to let Amy down, I took her to Petsmart instead, thinking I might be able to trick her.

Ummm...IT WORKED! To her, it was like an aquarium, and a zoo combined. She loved it! In addition to the fish, we saw birds and hamsters and cats and dogs being groomed, and dogs walking around the store, and guinea pigs...all sorts of entertainment. We enjoyed it so much we went back yesterday and brought home a beta fish.

I asked her several times what its name was and she kept saying "Elmo" (refering to the decoration I had inside the bowl). Then, 3 times in a row when I asked her she said, clear as day, "Uncle Betty". I'm sure she was trying to say something different, but "Uncle Betty" stuck.

Meet Uncle Betty...
