Good Bye Snowman

A few days ago Thea's pet fish Snowman died. We didn't know how she was going to react but knew we had to tell her any way. so I sat her down and told her. she was upset but didn't cry 'till I asked Do you know what we do with dead fish? She said we should go to the fish store and triad it for a new one. Nope we flush it. This is when the crying and losing it started, She really didn't want to put it in the potty. When we asked what she thought we should do then she said she wanted to go to Grandma's beach and put it in the Ocean so the big fish could eat it " they would like to eat Snowman. I thought she was tacking this well and understating all of it. After Corey and I talked about it we said we could walk to the lake down the street and let the fish there eat Snowman . So all bundled up we walked to the lake with Thea carrying the fish in a bag with water so he could breath. Me and the boys waited away from the water and Corey took Thea down to the water. She said Goodbye and dropped Snowman in the lake and told the other fish that Snowman would taste good if they ate him. Back at home having hot Coco I told Thea how proud of her i was and that she had been a very big girl today she said" I hope Snowman likes his new home with his family that eats him." and gave me a sad little smile. So I don't think she understood as well as I had thought but She was just to cute and sweet about the whole thing I wanted to share it with all of you.
