This appears to be a simple toy sea turtle, and not an especially attractive one. In our family it is a symbol of sibling love and sacrifice. This is a picture of the turtle that Braden got Emma for her birthday, the turtle he hid in his room for months in anticipation of the day he could bestow his carefully selected gift, the turtle he moved from hiding place to hiding place for fear that Emma would find it and ruin the surprise, and the turtle which he used his hard earned money to buy, the money he used not on himself but his sister; that is what makes this a gift of sacrifice, a symbol of sibling love.

Braden is the sweetest!!
Now I need to hear the rest of this sweet story: What was the reaction of Miss Emma Elizabeth?
Just checking your blog to see if your husband was right .......
he wasn't.

Braden really is a sweetheart, and to make his sacrifice even better, Emma loved the turtle. I think she loves it because she likes to chew on it.
