spiderman's in. elmo's out.
i remember clearly how excited cooper was to get his new elmo backpack. he informed me a while back, as you may remember, that he no longer liked elmo & didn't like his backpack anymore, either. elmo was for babies he said.
as time went on he didn't complain about elmo, so i didn't worry about it. i did find a spiderman backpack, so elmo's been in the closet for a few weeks now.
tonight, however, elmo was booted.
when we get cooper ready for bed he usually won't let us put jammies on. he just wants clothes. so, i put clean clothes on him that he can wear the next day. fine with me, it's less laundry.
tonight i chose a shirt with sesame street characters on it. as soon as he saw elmo on it he wanted it off. "i don't like elmo!" he said. i tried to convince him to just wear it for the night & he could change in the morning. hunter & kamrie (who were sitting right there) kept telling him how cool elmo is. no way. after trying to bite off one of the buttons in anger, he finally managed to pull it off over his head.
so, i guess it's official. no more elmo at the dillan house.

No more baby stuff for that boy. who told him it was for babies anyway. How would he know that?
makes me sad too. love mom
Isn't it kind of sad that they're all growing up? I'm sad. I went to Once Upon A Child the other day and realized that I really can't shop there anymore. I want them to stay little. :-)
