The Best Penny Spent

Saturday night we went to dinner at a new Italian restaurant on post. Outside of the restaurant there was a fountain and Eli asked for a penny to make a wish. I didn't have any because I gave him my last 4 pennies the other day. He then remembered that he had one of those pennies in his pocket!

He ran over to the fountain and made his wish. It went like this: "I wish that I had a pet fish." then as he ran back over to us he said: "I'm going to miss that penny." Stewart and I started feeling guilt because we told him that he could get a fish when we moved to Kentucky. We quietly decided that we would head over to Walmart and get him a fish right after dinner.

You can't see them very good but he picked two cute fancy goldfish. He is so happy and keeps checking on his fish. He gets to feed them twice a day and has named them Swimmy and Fishey. I know, really original. I'm absolutely certain that these names will change. So if you ask me, Eli's penny wish was one penny well spent and he hasn't talked about the penny being missed! :)
