No pics to post, but wanted to journal a convo I had with B last night. A few months ago we got him a Beta fish as a reward for staying in his new big boy bed. He named his fish "Chinese". lol Three weeks ago Chinese passed away and B didn't seem to notice so we never mentioned anything. Last night after bath he noticed Chinese was missing. Here's how our convo went:
B: "Where'd Chinese go Mommy?"
Me: "B, Chinese got sick and went to heaven."
B: "Ohhhh. I'm sad."
Me: "I know, I'm sorry honey but he is in heaven now."
B: "Did he fly like a bird up to heaven's house?"
Me: "Yes he did. At night when you look up at the stars, Chinese is one of those stars shining down on you." So we went outside so B could look up and he spotted a star.
B: "Look Mommy! There is Chinese and he sees me!"
Okay, I had no idea how to handle that situation but B quickly turned from being sad to happy so I think I did okay????
