A Red Furry Monster

3.8.2010

For the last few months Hallie has been madly in love with a red furry monster named Elmo. She asks to watch Elmo all the time, and can spot him anywhere.

Eric and I had debated getting her a stuffed Elmo, but then we looked at the prices! How can they charge so much for Elmo? Oh right, cause people will pay it. But one day after class I went to go pick Hallie up from my parents house, and my mom and I got talking about her obsession with Elmo. It then occurred to me that I may have an Elmo from when I was younger downstairs. I went down to get it, and found it quite easily. I knew she would be thrilled. I wish we would have had a camera, because her face was priceless when she saw what I was bringing her. She love love loved it! And it was even better because Elmo talks, and somewhat interacts when you throw him around. Hallie giggled, and giggled, and giggled! (And we laughed and laughed with her) She was ecstatic!

She has not stopped carrying him around yet. Elmo still has to go everywhere with us, and must be present at bedtime. Oh such love for a little red monster.

Mwah!

I think it's cute that she loves Elmo so much! And it sounds like it worked out perfectly, finding your old toy and being able to give it to her! How cute.

I love watching her with her Elmo. It's my favorite. She's so freaking cute.

Cute, and I bet Elmo loves the love too. We love that furry red monster at our house too.
