Elmo

Julia very rarely watches TV. She might see Sesame Street on Friday's when the IL's watch her. But somehow she has become enamored with Elmo. She would point him out and shout his name anytime she saw him. Julia also has this big Elmo that SIL got her last summer that lives at the IL's house. This Elmo was as big as she was last summer. It scared her then. Now all of a sudden, she LOVES this Elmo.

Sunday morning MIL bought Julia a smaller Elmo that can stay at our house. Well, this Elmo has not left her side since then!! She carries it around, she sleeps with it, she puts a diaper on it, she wraps it up in a blanket, etc.. Tonight, she even decided that Elmo needed to pee on the potty so she put her potty seat on the toilet, put Elmo on it, and then told me that Elmo needed a MnM for sitting on the potty (Julia gets a MnM for sitting on the potty and trying to go), I gave her the MnM and she proceeded to put it in his mouth.

I did manage to keep Elmo in the car when it came time to drop her off at daycare this morning.

Julia has NEVER shown an interest in baby dolls before this. So it is so weird to she her treating it like a real person, like her baby! It is funny that she became so attached to something so fast!
