Zane was gifted a pet Betta for Christmas. We considered one for his birthday but decided there were other things he was more interested in and wasn't sure he really wanted the responsibility of a fish. Plus, we had convinced ourselves that age 6 might be a good rule of thumb for a pet -- it seemed to work well for Vanessa. Then the weekend before Christmas, our dear friend Cal, without knowledge we considered one for his birthday, gave him a small aquarium she couldn't resist. Zane loves Horton!
So Santa brought the fish for Zane. And when asked what to name his new pet, Zane said "Santa Rainbow." A perfect name!
Santa Rainbow is very active and quite engaging. He stares at you and begs for food and we have figured out that he likes to watch TV, especially Super Mario Bros on the Wii U. Zane is willing and sometimes eager to feed him.
