Yertle the Turtle...

Got in trouble this morning. Let me explain. Kohl's, my favorite store in the whole world, carries different stuffed animals and themes, for their Kohl's for Kids. All the proceeds from these $5 animals and books goes to their charity. Great thing. Well on our last shopping trip Kai saw and fell in love with Yertle the Turtle. So we had to get it for him. It is now his new best friend. Everything Kai does, Yertle has to do too. Yertle eats all his bites of food before Kai gets it....and in fact Kai refuses to eat unless Yertle has eaten it first. Yertle drinks out of his sippy cups, Yertle sleeps and is tucked in for naps and bedtime. Yertle is always there. Well this morning, Yertle and Kai were watching Sword and the Stone. (Kai is smart enough to be able to turn on the TV and load the movie by himself...which is not a good thing.) So Kai turns off the TV in the middle of the movie. I go over and tell him to turn the TV back on, but I was immediately informed that it was "tur" that had turned it off (Kai can only say tur, instead of turtle, it's really cute). So, having not seen who actually turned it off, I asked Yertle to please turn the TV back on. Kai then proceeds to take Yertles paw? what does a turtle have for feet? and turns the TV back on. Yertle got a stern talking to about playing with the TV. I don't think it'll happen again.

That is too funny! BTW, I LOVE those $5 book and stuffed animal deals at Kohls! They're great!
