Elbow

We have a set of Sesame Street books that Gretchen has really gotten into since moving to the apartment. Nathan’s college buddy Jen bought her another Elmo book, which we read multiple times a day. She has decided she loves Elmo, except she calls him “Elbow.” She is very good with her body parts and knows where her actual elbow is. I was trying to help her with the difference I pointed to Elmo and said “Elmo” and then to my elbow and said “elbow.” She looked at me smiled pointed to her elbow and said “elbow” then pointed at the picture of Elmo and said “Elbow.” It is just too cute.

She has also learned how to not only turn on the TV, but change channels and find the cartoons on PBS. So when she flipped it on and actually saw “Elbow” on TV she went crazy. She was screaming “Elbow, Elbow!!!”
