Fun with fake fish

Sam has been fascinated with fish lately. I think it started with the fish in his classroom at daycare, a couple of goldfish, and now it's turned into his own aquarium. It's not the traditional aquarium with the aerator and filter, it's a bathtub aquarium. He is meticulous in his care of these fish - each day as he takes his bath he changes the scummy water for new scummy water. Please meet the fish. The purple one is "Goldy" and the yellow one is "Fishy."

We've searched out books about fish and aquariums at the library but so far, we've had no begging for a live fish of his own. I'm hoping to keep it that way because I know that any fish we would get would end up with the name "Cat Food" since the girls look so hungry.

I don't know if I've ever introduced our cats. This is Mo Mo. She's old and kind of mean and will scratch you in a nanosecond. Her main goal in life is to avoid Sam and her second most important goal is eating every bit of catfood in the house. She's predictably fat.

This is Lola. She craves human attention but just tolerates Sam. She sits on people's laps and has been know to lick your hand which generally ends her comfy seating arrangement.

This is Faux Mo. She's been with us for many years and is the most personable of the cats. And she never hacks up a hairball.

Please note that taking a picture of Faux Mo led to a photo session of all Sam's stuffed "Friends" so I'll also introduce them. Please note these reflect Sam's own skill at posing his friends.

This is bear. Bear is apparently available for four easy payments.

This is Bunny, his stuffed best friend.
Dog is a tad spineless but headless Sam loves him none the less.

Dragon contemplates a bunny dinner.
And this is Beaver. When Sam is in a generous mood Beaver becomes mine. Should I read something into this?
