Charlotte and Elmo

Charlie Jo's interest in Elmo (from Sesame Street) has been building slowly, but it has recently become a full-blown love affair. I really don't show her a lot of TV (really, Sesame Street is the only kids' show she has watched in its entirety), but Sesame Street has been helping keep her occupied while I shower. She has an Elmo doll and demands that I draw Elmo on her magnetic doodle thingy (I did it a few times, and now she brings it to me demanding "Lalo! Lalo!").

I have seen her feed many of her stuffed animals with the fake baby bottle she has, but today I caught her feeding her Elmo doll (with his lovely gaping mouth) goldfish crackers. It was disgustingly adorable. The only other time we have seen her feed solid food to anyone was when she tried to shove grapes down her cousin Quinn's throat when he was about three months old. She's going to be such a sweet (and dangerous) older sister...
