Engine Turtles

Ricky found an old VHS that I’ve had for 20 years of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Watching it renewed his interest in the costume I bought last year for the dress-up box, however, his costume was missing the mask.  The other morning he brought me scissors and a picture he’d colored of a blue mask.  I cut it out for him and he asked me how he could attach it to his face.  I decided that would never do, so I made him one from felt.

Billy needed a mask too.

The best part of their imaginary play is when Billy is looking for Ricky and runs around the house yelling, “Engine Turtle!  Engine Turtle!  Where are you?”

I haven’t had the heart to correct him yet!
