On a recent snow day I thought I'd capture Elmo's adventures...
To give some background: Sophia has a "Potty Elmo" meaning he used to talk about how he had to use the potty and he came with a potty and a drink and apparently his purchase guaranteed desperate parents that potty training would be quickly successful. His batteries have been done for over a year but every once in a while he comes alive and starts speaking out of nowhere. Its like a Festivus Miracle. He is very well loved and very dirty, but again, due to the sewed in battery box, I can't wash him without major reconstructive surgery. I'm no seamstress and he's no Heidi Montag so we love him as he is and spray disinfectant when needed. Olivia has a small Elmo because she is the smaller sister. She wasn't buying that bit so we got her an Elmo the same size as Sophia's. Hers is a puppet. Sophia is a little jealous of this. And I am just trying to scheme how we can get some royalties from the Childrens Television Workshop for all of this exposure.
So a few Saturdays ago...Elmo was taken out in the snow, wrapped in a towel because he has no snow pants...
Apparently the towel was holding him back so Sophia put him in the rocking chair as she played:
Later on during bathtime Olivia is playing with her Little Elmo, but if you look in the background...
Yes, Sophia's Elmo has to watch her take a bath - in underwear. That's baby powder in his mouth. I hear it freshens breath.
Olivia's Big Elmo was just trying to lie low in the crib, grateful for a day off...

I am laughing so hard at this. Poor Elmo's eyes are gray with love. Does he also layer his underwear?
