No, Elmo

For Christmas, my mom and dad gave Jayce an Elmo "doll". Jayce watches Elmo just about everyday at the sitters so he has fallen in love with Elmo. However, we had nothing with Elmo on it, so my parents fixed that. Jayce has fallen in love with Elmo, and Elmo is his constant companion (at least at home)

Last week Jayce had left Elmo at the Totta's house (we go there for Bible Study every Wednesday) and Sarah had brought Elmo to work so Jayce could have him to sleep with. I brought Elmo home from work and of course Jayce was ecstatic. After dinner, Jayce was running around carrying Elmo. We all sat down and Jayce stayed in the dining room. Pretty soon he came into the room we were in holding onto Elmo who was "holding" onto some papers Jayce was not supposed to be playing with. The papers were my moms so Jayce took them to her. She simply smiled and said Jayce you are not supposed to be playing with Grandma's papers. Jayce just smiled at her and said "No, Mumu - Elmo hold the papers" So my mom told Jayce to have Elmo put the papers back on the table. Jayce took Elmo and the papers back to the dining room table but the whole way proceeded to tell Elmo - "No Elmo, NO NO!!" very emphatically. We all lost it.

It is so funny what the kiddos pick up on that you don't even realize they understand. Kind of like the fact that my dad calls the dog a dumb dog quite often. One day the dog ran Jayce over and he simply looked at him and said "You dumb dog" :)
