John & Elmo

John was playing with his Elmo this morning. Before I go on, for those of you who don't know, John has become obsessed with Elmo (a.k.a. Melmo) right now. He has a couple of Elmo movies that he begs to watch everyday (thanks Amanda!) and he has an Elmo doll from Valentine's that he's recently gotten attached to. Well, the funny thing is that this morning he was actually kicking Elmo around like a soccer ball. Barry and I were laughing because John thought this was funny, then he would pick up Elmo and hug him really tight like he felt bad for "hurting" him. He was just goofing off and I don't think he realized what he was doing until I said "don't hurt Elmo." From that point on he just hugged and kissed on him. So, I had to capture some photos of this precious moment, the kiss is so cute!! When we left for his school, he gave him a kiss and then said bye-bye while mommy put Elmo in his bed (putting Elmo in his "bed" consisted of me shoving him down in one of John's toy baskets, but don't tell John...for all he knows, Elmo is snuggled up in a muppet size bed!)
