Meet Pedro Peabody Tousa

Well, in celebration of Cade being officially potty-trained, we got him a fish! We were in Meijer's one day when he wanted to look at the fish- he loved them, so I told him if he started to go to the bathroom on the big potty, we would get him a fish! He did it! So, he named him Pedro Peabody Tousa. We tried to give him lots of options on the name because he wanted to call him "Purplefish", which would have been okay, but isn't Pedro so much cuter? Celebratory dinner at where else- QDoba! At the pet store with Cade's new fish!

I love the name!! But what happens if you have another boy?? Now you can't name him Pedro Peabody...darn it! I remember we got Mayah a fish around that age and I accidentally killed it within the first 12 hours (and the replacement one we got). Nobody told me that you shouldn't just dump the fish right into the tap water with out letting it sit a while b/c it poisons it or something!! How was I supposed to know that? Hope you have better luck with Pedro!!

Way to go Cade! What a big boy. I would have given you Braeden's frog!!! His name is Tad - not as creative:)

Good job Cade.

I love Pedro! My mom used to do that same thing with potty training and I still remember the doll I got. Devin says the feeling is mutual about missing Cade in nursery! He can't wait for sunday, they really are best buddies!!! I love it.

I really hope he doesn't die! Keely had a fish that lasted for about 2 weeks and for about a year she couldn't stop talking about Sam, her poor little dead fish we had to flush down the toilet! Better luck to Pedro! : )

BTW, we are leaving for Australia this Saturday but I mean it when I say we HAVE to get together when we get back!

Mike and I are cracking up! The name Pedro Peabody is great! What a fun idea, I will have to remember that when I potty train my kids.
