Aric vs Helmet the Turtle

We have a turtle made out of an old Army helmet and machine parts welded together.

The neck of the turtle is made out of a big spring. Aric is fascinated with the turtle and repeatedly beheads the turtle.

Yesterday the turtle fought back.

Aric pushed down on the head and then let go. The head popped up and hit him under his eye. He is now sporting a beautiful black and blue bruise underneath his eye.

I wonder how I'm going to explain this at his 9 month checkup this week...

Ouch! I can relate.Keira took a piece of yarn and drug it back and forth across the back of her neck last week. It looks aweful and no pony tails for the near future.
