This is Eli's turtle. He lights up and projects stars onto the ceiling for Eli at night, and he's been in the house since Eli was younger than Maddie. Recently, Eli has taken to feeding him. Or rather, he's taken to instructing Daddy to feed him. Almost every night as Lehr walks out of his room, Eli calls out instructions for feeding said turtle. It started off that Lehr was asked/told to bring the turtle downstairs with him when he left. The next night Eli asked him to bring the turtle downstairs and feed him Cheerios. The next night, Hearts (Eli's favorite Kashi cereal). So on and so on. Last night it was pizza. This kid has quite an imagination about these things, and I must say it keeps me pretty entertained. Rarely a night goes by that I don't ask Lehr what was on the menu, per Eli.

Love the pet! At least he is cheaper to take care of ... not shots to worry about, no teeth cleaning, you don't have to take it out to the bathroom and the food is so much cheaper for your turtle than my dog :) Wanna trade?
We were looking into buying one of those since Liam decided he's too scared to sleep in his own room. It's funny that Eli treats it like a pet who needs food on a daily basis.
