The Living Planet Aquarium

We have been getting together with some other little kids and moms in our complex every few weeks and doing play dates for our kids. The last one we did, we took all the kids to the Living Planet Aquarium. I thought CJ would love it because he likes looking at Grandpa's fish tank. But I was wrong. He was ok with all the small fish and loved the statue of a big frog but then we saw the octopus. CJ looked at it for a long time and then burst into tears. I'm not sure what happened, but he wouldn't let go of me for a very long time. He had fun during story time. He got to wear a turtle hat and that made everything better. He also went to see the sting rays again and was waving back at them as they splashed the water. But he really doesn't like big fish. Everytime he saw a big fish he would get worried and sometimes he would start crying again. It was fun to go do once but I think it will be a while before we go back and see the fish again.
