The Newest Ezell...Gish

For Carter's 2nd birthday, we decided to get him a fish because it was cheap he loves the ones in the aquarium at his school. We already had the tank and plants that was handed down by my parents, so it was a very easy gift. He had so much fun picking out his orange and white "gish" at Petsmart, picking out his "geen" rocks, and helping me put it together the night before his birthday. Every night before bed, he watches as we feed it and Gish goes "up, up, up" to the top for his food. He also insists on kissing Gish goodnight on the top of the tank. So sweet.

As fascinating as all that is, I really wanted to include Gish in the blog because I witnessed one of my favorite Carter moments EVER the other night as he was chatting with Gish. Every day after school, we ask Carter about his day. We ask what he did, who he played with, what he ate, etc. Well, apparently Carter has decided that Gish goes to school too because I overheard this little conversation in his room the other night while Carter was supervising meal time.

Carter: Hi, Gish! School? (pause) Yeah. Play? (pause) Yeah. Eat? (pause) Yeah. Friends? (pause) Yeah. Sleep? (pause) Missed you! (kisses tank)

I just about died.

I know everyone says the 2's are supposed to be "terrible," but I say bring them on! If this is any taste of the fun that is to come now that he's talking, I CAN'T WAIT. :)
