Over her fish phobia

When we were at the beach last time, Astrid was afraid of the little minnows swimming in the water. So when I saw this toy fish (that actually swims like a real fish and is painted to look like a real one) in the store, I thought it might help her get over her fear of fish.
I think it did the trick. She didn't mind it swimming next to her and even loved pulling the chord to make the fin in the back start moving again.After awhile she even forgot about the fish and was focused on soaping up.
Washing between her toes.Making sure her feet are clean as can be.
