A Motorcycle Helmet for a Monkey

Today we were out running errands and Sterling was playing with a toy motorcycle and his stuffed monkey. I heard him say "Monkey ride motorcycle. Monkey needs helmet." I couldn't argue with this. We have been telling him that you have to wear a helmet to ride a motorcycle. So, we went to the dollar store and found a motorcycle helmet for the monkey. Well, we couldn't actually find a motorcycle helmet. Instead we found a military accessory set for a teddy bear. It came with a hat, canteen and a gun. We fixed the hat so it kind of fits like a helmet. Sterling calls the canteen a water bottle and the gun a faucet to fill the water bottle.
