Raine is obsessed with that furry red friend from everyone's favorite street. I love it, but last night when she was playing with the bath tub Elmo (he wears swim trunks and arm floaties) she didn't understand why he couldn't come in her crib with her. No way the soaking red guy was getting in the bed with the temper tantrum throwing 17 mos old.
It all started about a week ago. She found him laying on the bottom of the bathtub. She was screaming Melmo so many times that I had to run and see what she needed. Raine was trying to climb in the tub to get him. It was the funniest thing ever. I got Elmo out and handed him to the screaming child. You would of thought I just gave her a cookie. She hugged him so hard saying Melmo over and over again.
For the past week she has been dragging that little bath tub Elmo all over the house. Raine couldn't fathum not taking him in her crib after their bath last night. Luckly, the potty training Elmo stays in the crib and was there waiting for her when I layed her down. She was so excited to see him. She screamed Melmo so loud! I finally got her to go night night and she was out like a light in a matter of minutes.
On Saturday, Raine found her favorite book. It's an Elmo Pop Up book from her Uncle Travis and Aunt Amber. She was so cute laying onher belly reading it. Reece has the same book but he tore most of the pop up pieces out. Raine tried that once and hasn't done it again. The kids will sit and sing/read their two books side by side. I need to snap a photo of that.
At dinner last night, Mo got her to eat all of her meal because Elmo was on the spoon. Tonight she refused to eat, so I found the Elmo spoon and said, "Show Elmo how to take a bite." She was so excited about that spoon that she ate her whole bowl of food; half of it all by herself, poking the pasta with Elmo! It was so great.
It looks like Elmo will be a big part of our home for the next few months. Yay for the furry red puppet with the annoying voice coming back around. ;P
