Elmo Vlach

Yesterday, Madeline and Elmo joined Charlie in his "tummy time" (a phrase, by the way, that makes Rob cringe a little in his masculinity). Elmo -- or actually The Elmos (Madeline has three) -- are her sidekicks; they go everywhere and do everything we do. And since Madeline is observing and "helping" Rob and me take care of Charlie, it's sweet to watch her nurture her favorite toy. She swaddles, burps, bathes and kisses him; pushes him in the stroller and changes his diaper. Yesterday, Elmo even sat on the big girl potty. And finally, tonight, Rob came downstairs from putting Madeline to bed and told me about her bedtime prayer. "Thank you for Baby Elmo. Thank you for Big Elmo. Thank for for the Other Elmo. Thank you for all the Elmos..."

Attack of the Elmos! What is it about that guy that kids find so irresistible? The pic of them piled in the car seat together is pretty funny...
