We love Elmo
We have two Elmos. Elmo and baby Elmo. This is baby Elmo.
Baby Elmo is good at sitting still for pictures.
Elmo gets like a million kisses a day.
We love Elmo at our house. Allie loved Elmo, Luke loved Elmo, and now Kate loves Elmo--maybe even more than the other two. Elmo goes everywhere with Kate and does everything Kate does. I'm not exaggerating about that--Elmo is always with her. When I tell her to put her shoes on to leave, she grabs Elmo first. When we Skype with Grandma and Grandpa, Elmo is there. We we drive the kids to school, Elmo comes along. We grocery shop with Elmo.
On friday, Kate asked for marshmallows and I told her no. (It was 2 minutes after breakfast) So she went and got Elmo and asked for marshmallows for Elmo.
We are working with Kate on saying two word phrases. Here's the bulk of what we get: "Elmo eat", "Elmo drink, "Elmo hair" (as in blow dry) , "Elmo teeth" (as in brushing), "Elmo see", "Elmo read", "Elmo slide", "Elmo night night", "Elmo bye bye", "Elmo poopy", and something like "Where's Elmo?" and so on.
Today, before I cooked some corn on the cob, I had Kate feel it and told her it was bumpy. I had her practice saying "bumpy". She ran and got Elmo and put his hand on the corn and said, "Elmo bumpy"
Does she watch Elmo? Not really--but she loves to read books about him and play with him.
I just snapped these while Kate was playing with Elmo. (1) Taking Elmo on the slide. (2) Helping Elmo climb on the measly pile of boxes I have packed that Kate knows SHE is not allowed to climb. (3) Helping Elmo climb the rock wall on her slide (4) Kate so happy to be playing with her friend

Ah, that is so cute. I hope that you do not ever lose Elmo, that would not be a fun night.
We love Elmo, too! Elmo's World is a favorite of Ellie's.
I love Elmo too. I'm so sad that my kids have "out grown" him.
Can hardly wait to see you guys again!
