Welcome to our home, Indigo!

When Kayleigh turned 5 she started to do chores around the house. For each chore, she earned 1 quarter. Early on she decided that she wanted to save for a fish. Yesterday she finally got one! She decided on a blue/purple/red male Betta and named him Indigo.

Kayleigh kept calling her fish a girl. When I told her that it was a boy fish she said that she was still going to call it a girl. But, that was short lived because today she seems fine with a boy fish. Kay was super excited to be able to hold the take-home cup in the car and kept singing, "if you're happy and you know it..."

We had to wait 24 hours before letting Indigo into his new home. Kayleigh felt that he needed toys and music so surrounded the cup with random toys, a musical snow globe, and even plastic corn on the cob (incase he were to get hungry). We weren't home most of the day today so Kayleigh was very worried about her fish.... "I wonder what Indigo is doing right now. I hope he's okay...." That girl is so sweet and caring. It warms my heart.

Here's Dave and K pouring Indigo in his new tank.

Kayleigh was SO HAPPY to see how excited the fish seemed to be with is new pad.

She knows she gets to feed him 4 pellets twice a day...

Indigo

SUPER HAPPY GIRL and her fish.

I'm very proud of Kay... She worked very hard cleaning her room, making her bed, cleaning Zoe's room, and clearing the table to earn her fish. She has been continuing to do her chores because she wants a toy for Indigo. So sweet!
