On Easter 2006, we gave a fish to Jacob and Joshua. Jake was allowed to name the fish and quickly replied, "He will be called Tacky the Fish." We all agreed that we would be lucky if Tacky was around more than a few months. Month after month we surprised ourselves as he became part of the family. Now 15 months have passed and Tacky experienced his most traumatic day in the Patton household. Josh decided he wanted a closer look at his favorite fish, Tacky. He pulled a sand bucket over to the counter and stood on top of it admiring Tacky's swimming skills. The next thing we know the fish bowl comes crashing to the floor with Tacky landing on the carpet. In a mad panic Jill got a new bowl and began to prep it so Tacky could survive in it. Unfortunately, Jacob was there to witness the whole event and seemed a little shook up as Jill prepared him for the worst. As the minutes passed, we thought Tacky was not going to make it and finally the bowl was ready to place him in it. We placed him in the bowl and we are thrilled to say he is still alive!! Jill believes she is a doctor now and stated, "I think the next 24-48 hours will be critical, with all the stress he encountered." Also, Grandma KayKay says he may have encountered some brain damage. Mike says that we should just let him be, since there is nothing we can do and check him out once a day. We will keep you updated on his progress. Josh had a smirk on his face the whole time until he was sent to his room. Tacky, welcome to Josh's world.
Yes, that is Josh hanging from the monkey bars. He can complete the monkey bars now with very little help. He is such a dare devil, I don't know what I am going to do with this kid! Any suggestions?
