I was scared. I’ll admitread more
I seriously don’t know what it is, but my son is infatuated with turtles. Sure, sure, he also loves his “boy toys” like trains and cars and he can’t go a day without belting out the alphabet and reciting his numbers, but when it comes time for “nigh-nite” my son always asks for his turtles. read more
