Thank You Elmo!

Over the past year Andrina has become more and more of an independent and active toddler. Long gone are the newborn days when I could just hold her for hours at a time and she was content with that. Andrina is still a very affectionate girl but she has a lot of playing and exploring to do which is so much more interesting than sitting still being held by Mommy. Of course I still get lots of quick and spontaneous hugs from her throughout the day but it's hard to get my fix of cuddling in aside from reading books together before bedtime. That's where Elmo comes in. Yes, Elmo, the red Muppet from Sesame Street that Andrina is practically obsessed with. If he's on TV, I have a guaranteed opportunity to have Andrina sit on my lap and I get to cuddle her. So thank you so much Elmo for giving me so many, many times of cuddling bliss with my child!
