Jackson has been asking if he could get a frog for his fish tank. As I have said in previous posts, Jackson' s behavior has been a bit trying lately. Todd and I told him it was something that he needed to work for and that if he had a couple of days trying his hardest to use nice words and keeping his hands to himself and not on Aubrin, we would consider it. So, Jackson had a couple of nice days and as promised I took him to the pet store to buy a frog. To our disappointment when we got there, there were no frogs. The lady told Jackson that they wouldn't be getting any in for a while. His response was, " a long time, like 10 minutes?" She said longer than that.
Jackson was sad, but quickly got over it when he saw something that would be much better than a frog... a ferret. He thought it was absolutely fabulous. So as I gently told him that was not a choice, I directed him to the fish. He picked out a couple fish and was sure to get a pink one for Aubrin.
We came home and introduced them to their brother Shrek that already lives in the tank and now they are all living happily together.

Amy, this post made me laugh outloud.. I LOVED that a "ferret" was not a choice.. all I can think about was Kevin and Craig and how they would bring the ferret to 139 on a leash..
I am taking a stand in our house as well.. no fur :)
Maybe if you had waited 15 minutes they would have come in!
