goldfish

Last week I was trying to get some stuff done in the kitchen and I had little hands holding onto my pant leg. The only way to get them detached was to offer a treat. Hooray for goldfish crackers. I put them in a bowl, knowing they wouldn't stay there, but to get him used to the idea of "dishes". To begin with, all the crackers were in the bowl, and somehow they jumped out. The bowl was discarded rather quickly, but after a few nibbles, he tried to put them back in the bowl. The poor fishies never made it back into the bowl. Although he tried, they just didn't stay.
