After many discussions, Brian and I decided we were going to be brave parents, buy Alivia a toddler fishing pole, and take her on a mini-fishing trip.
Surprisingly, she was all about this new purchase. We began our search online, where she let us know by a "Nooooo" or a "Yeah!" which poles she fancied. Once we got to the store, it was down to Dora the Explorer, or Barbie. Barbie won because Dora was all plastic and wouldn't have held up well.
Brian and I had extremely low expectations for this trip. We both agreed our goal was to exposure to the concept this year and not force the issue. Boy were we in for a treat!
Alivia squealed when she looked over the dock and saw Pumpkin Seed fish swimming everywhere. A stranger took the pole out of her hand and quick set up the line and we were fishing in no time.

Within 3 minutes Alivia was the proud new owner of her first catch! Thanks to the same stranger, we have this (interesting) photo of the three of us. Alivia is a bit distracted/disgusted, as she just finished touching the fish.
While she's not looking at the camera, I'm so touched to have this photo! What a great memory from a great milestone! I have a feeling we have on our hands, a girly girl who knows how to run with the boys as well. Good girl Alivia!
