My daughter could not find anyone to play with on our block this evening, so I suggested we go to the duck pond. "Could I catch some minnows??" she asked eagerly. "Sure!" I said. "Grab the fish net!" I love the enthusiasm in her voice. "Could I keep one for a pet??" was her next querry. "I guess so... as long as we let him go when he gets bigger. I think he might miss his home," I replied.
We had a great time feeding bread to the ducks, and then some crumbs to the minnows. It took almost 30 minutes, but my daughter caught one adorable minnow, which we quickly placed in a cup of pond water. "Darter" as she affectionately named him is too cute! He is living up to his name, too, darting around the water-filled tupperware container. I LOVE these sweet moments with my cutie. I realize that all too quickly she'll be grown up, but I hope she has fond memories of homemade cookies and trips to the duck pond. I LOVE my job as a realtor, but I sure LOVE my job as "mommy" as well!!
