As of yesterday, Jolee is the proud owner of an aquarium, that houses 5 beautiful fish! She absolutely loves her fish or her "ish" as she calls them. She will run to the tank, (which is at her eye level) and waves at them, talks to them, points them out and tries to follow them with her finger as they swim around.
So the story on how we ended up with an aquarium and fish goes like this: Silas for awhile has been saying I think Jolee needs some fish, she would love them "T". So on Sat. we went to the Pet store to get Sophie some food and treats and we just happened to walk by the fish dept that is on the total opposite side of the dog food. Jolee flipped out when she saw them all swimming around. She got so excited and squatted down and started talking to them, and pointing, and bouncing and moving both feet so fast (that must be her excited dance) and when someone would walk down the aisle she would point to them and say ish, ish! So when we told her it was time to go home, she looked at them and waved and walked a little ways away, and then she would go back again and wave at the 'ish'. As you can see it took us awhile to get out of the store.
So the rest of the night and Sunday morning on the way to church we talked about it, and after some convincing from Silas that Jolee needs fish and that he would be in charge of cleaning the tank out (what a good daddy) we went to WalMart after church and got us and aquarium and 5 fish (it was cheaper at WalMart)! So while Jolee took her nap yesterday, Silas and I put together the aquarium, we had alot of fun getting it ready to surprise her when she woke up. And of course we took lots of pictures and video to capture her reaction, and it was great! She loved it!

She looked at her Daddy as if to say: Are those my fish?
So for so good with Sophie she handling the change well!

She did this all night, she would play and then stop and run over there and check on her fish!
These are my fish?

Hi! This is so funny. My name is Jolee, also. My friend's Facebook blog suggested googling "(your name) needs" and see what comes up. This was the first entry. Say hi to baby Jolee for me - from Jolee. :)
