Eh-Mo!

Rachel adores Elmo. Back in August during a visit to Barnes & Noble, we passed a Sesame Street kiosk. With outstretched arms, Rachel squealed "eh-mow!". What? "eh-mow!"

My little darling using that noggin to discover the next cure for the common cold, of course. So did I laugh out loud or what when Rachel started singing "Happy Birthday Mommy" and presented me with a special "cupcake". Yes, that is a half-eaten apple with a Nintendo DS stylus tucked in the top just like a candle. I've told my boys to keep their games out of reach...oops!
