So today, the boys were introduced to a new friend. They were so excited by the small, unusual creature. It wasn't anything like the cats, dog, or horse they are used to seeing everyday, around home.
They made the biggest deal about they're new friend, wanting to constantly touch it (which I prohibited), talking to it, and finally Cole trying to feed it his Cheerios....
He kept insisting his new friend eat the Cheerios that he supplied for him, after all the dog and even the cats seem more than willing to eat the Cheerios he leaves for them, but not this creature. Who (or in this case what) wouldn't eat Cheerios!?.....
Well apparently a turtle does not eat Cheerios, despite the demands of a pushy toddler.
And although Cole and Brody weren't allowed to touch the turtle, it did not keep Allison from having to pick it up.
In the end the boys said "Bye Turtle" and Allison washed her hands followed by hand sanitizer. Cole retuned inside, to finish the Cheerios that weren't wasted on the turtle, and learned that not everone, or everything likes Cheerios. As I have been uploading these photos Cole has been by my chair reminding me that it is a "baby turtle" and when he sees the picture of the Cheerios he is quick to say "eww yuck" but that has not stopped him from eating the Cheerios out of his cup while assisting me with this post.
