Fishshshshs

Sammy loves our breakfast nook-turned ocean viewing gallery. The room is painted green and thatched mats hang on the windows. Sam gets a viewing bench to watch the fish glide and dip in Danny's 60-gallon water universe.

Every night after Sam's bath and before his bedtime, when he is snuggled into his dinasoar 'jammies,' Sam and Danny turn off all the lights in the house except the ones in the fish tank, and then feed the fish together. The tank transforms into swirling dervish of colors and fins and puckered mouths slurping in plankton flakes. It's a miracle every single night and Sam watches in the darkness with upturned face full of wonder.
