We have a new pet!

His name is "Slimy".  He's an aquatic snail.  Sydney has been studying fish, snails, and beetles at school, and earlier this week she brought home a permission form requesting to adopt one of these creatures.  Mommy signed the form and ok'd either a fish or snail (no beetles, please).  Today Sydney found out she was one of the lucky snail winners.  She was excited!
