meet "Fish"

Lincoln transitioned to a twin bed a few weeks ago. Derick and I were both scared of how that would go. We thought that he would be one to constantly get up out of his bed. Derick had this {great?} idea to bribe Lincoln (yes, we bribe Lincoln sometimes...don't judge :-)) with a fish, because he loves fish. Derick and I were both thinking that we could get the cheap 13 cent goldfish, put them in a bowl, and be out of the store for an inexpensive price. Little did we know that having fish is a little bit more complicated. Apparently the only ones that you can keep in a bowl are Betta fish. All of the rest need more space, heated water, filters, etc. Long story short, we didn't want to buy an expensive tank or anything, so we ended up getting the bowl, the Betta, food, rocks, a plant and some kind of water purifier. $24 later, we were out the door. *Sigh* We kept asking Lincoln what he wanted to name his fish, and we offered suggestions, but he just kept saying "Fish." So that's it's name. Fish.

So do you want to know if the bribe worked? Well, Lincoln's transition to a bigger bed was pretty seamless, and he rarely gets out of bed. It has been great. Whether that was due to the fish or not, I don't know. On one hand, I like to think that it wasn't because of the fish and that Lincoln is just such a good boy. On the other hand, I want to think that it was the fish, so that I feel like $24 was worth it. But, I guess I don't really care! I'm just glad that he's sleeping well.

Without further ado, here's "Fish."
