Elmo?

So Cameron's been sick with Croupe (croop? crupe?) ((which I will post about later)).

Yesterday, ALL DAY he kept saying, "Elmo, please!?"

I handed him all our Elmo dolls (now 4). He'd push them away and say, "Elmo, please!?"

I would tell him that was Elmo, and I didn't understand.

He kept taking me to his closet, "Elmo, please!?"

I'd look at the closet doors, and go through every toy in my head, trying to think of something else that had Elmo on it. Nothing. All Elmo memorabilia was out.

I'd tell him again, "We have Elmo out, he's in the living room."

"Elmo, PLEASE!? E-L-M-O, ELMO, ELMO! PLEASE!?!"

After hours of this, I finally opened the closet doors. Picked him up and he happily reached up and grabbed the box of....

"Animals"

Oops.

That is too funny! I kept thinking Elise was asking for daddy, but nope, she just wanted some candy :)

That is so cute! I have to relay a story that happened to me last night that is similar. We were at my parents house eating dinner and for some reason my neice always calls dogs afoo. Not sure why?! But, she wanted the dog to get up and she walked up to Cam and said Afoo up! and Cam said "You threw up?" It was really funny!
