E-L-M-O

Elmo is becoming a popular figure in the Boone household. Popular enough for the stuffed animal version to join us at the dinner table each night (Mackenzie won't say grace unless Elmo is present).

Josh thought it'd be awesome to take Mackenzie to Sesame Street Live! to see the red fella in person. With hundreds of other fanatic children. In an enclosed area. On his birthday (I heart this man).

Mackenzie's love of her Elmo doll, Elmo books and the TV version of Elmo was quickly replaced by utter fear of the real deal (remember--it's taken months to warm up to the Miami mascot). I'll give her credit, she never cried, and within about 10 minutes warmed up to the idea of her role model singing and dancing in the flesh.
