Graham's friend Allie celebrated her second birthday last weekend, and WHAT A PARTY!!! There was a giant cardboard house the kids could draw on and crawl through, yummy food (pizza, Chick Fil A, animal crackers, goldfish, cupcakes - Graham sampled it ALL), a fun playground, and best of all - Elmo came to the party, too! We don't let Graham watch much TV, but when he does we do allow Sesame Street and Blues Clues. Well, the first time he saw Elmo on Sesame Street....it was love at first sight. And it was no different with "Big Elmo". Graham refused to do anything but follow Elmo around the yard. I think he hugged Elmo no less than 22 times. Touched his feet, gave him gifts of sticks and grass, kissed Elmo. He was Elmo's shadow. (We made sure he didn't monopolize too much since Big Elmo was really for Allie!!)
How creative is this - the party favor was a real goldfish! Just like Dorothy on Sesame Street! Unbeknownst to Kyle, the fish was named Dorothy. He introduced the fish to Graham as Philip. A post for another day - Philip has graduated from the bowl and now lives in a lovely fish tank in the middle of my kitchen. He is only living in my kitchen temporarily. (I have not agreed to give up any real estate on my countertops permanently.)
