What Every Mother Wants

My Mother's Day gift from SwingDaddy and the boys arrived today.  A giant blue plush jellyfish to join our octopus!  We had a lovely, huggable evening.  Since we've been calling the octopus a "he," we've decided that the jellyfish is a "she."

Thus, our sealife follow the gender color conventions from the 19th century, when blue was a girl's color (associated with the Virgin Mary) and pink was for boys (since it was similar to red, a power color.)

Buster couldn't pronounce the word octopus two years ago, when our plush friend arrived, so he said, "o-pus."  He's got octopus mastered now, but he's still got the cute toddler L-W inversion, so our new friend is a jewee-fish.
