Today Kai was playing quietly in the living room while I was putting dinner together. All of the sudden I heard his little feet hitting the floor with the sound of toddler running and Kai shrieking, "feesh, feesh, feesh." He ran over to the dining table, home to the fish, and started to climb up a chair. I went over to spot him and to see what the commotion was about. He had a bathtub squirter in the shape of a fish (it lives in a play cubby, not the tub) and was taking it over to the fish bowl. He really, really, really wanted to put it into the bowl with the live fish. We got the toy fish a plastic bowl and fed him some tissue paper food. It was a good solution for Kai for about five minutes and then he made it up to standing on a chair and was mid-toss of the fish when I got to him. I distracted him by having him put the fish on different parts of his body. This was sufficiently boring and he moved on to playing with his castle toy.
