The Birthday Fun Continues

Jacks! Elmo!...and technically Parker, it isn't even your birthday yet. Yes, it's good to be two!

A friend sent Parker a couple of birthday goodies in the mail -- the season one soundtrack from Jack's Big Music Show (HOORAY! Or as Jack and Mary would say, "WHOOPIE!") and a TMX Elmo (WOW!). Talk about a big haul!

Parker's all too familiar with Jack (and Mel and Mary) but, as you can see from the picture, this Elmo guy in the box...hmmmm.

Elmo In ActionSo, with the help of a few tools (Should I even start with how securly toys are packaged these days. Geez! And I thought that "security wrap" on CD's and DVD's was annoying. You need a full tool box to free toys from their packaging these days. Who would think someone getting 50 cents an hour in a Chinese government sponsored sweatshop would be so motivated? Then again, f#*@ing with people who can afford these toys may be just how they get through their days. But I digress...), I free Elmo and set him on the floor.

Yeah, we're going to have to work on some trust issues here. The first run caused Parker to jump in my arms and cry on my shoulder in fear. But he soon warmed up to the guy after he got to know him.

As for Frankie...well, as you can see in the picture, he doesn't trust the little guy. Careful Elmo, one wrong giggle and Frankie will make the laughter go away for good.

All in all, so long as Frankie stays in line, Elmo should make a good addition to the family.
