Elmo


So, we discovered Elmo. About a month ago, we thought we would see if Harrison enjoyed Seseme Street and by his second episode, he was excitedly chanting and pointing at "Melmo" everytime the red furry creature would enter a scene. Now, every evening, he brings us the remote control and asks for Elmo before bedtime. After 10 minutes of Elmo's World and a bath, he brings us his Elmo books. Elmo is likely the last thing on Harrison's mind before he falls asleep these days!

In addition to Elmo, Harrison is really focusing on his toys and books lately. It seems that he is finally comfortable with the world around him and ready to settle down and master his toys! He loves shape sorters (interestingly, ovals are his favorite shape) and anything involving animals. He can make several animals noises now, including monkey noises, which are a riot. But most of all, Harrison loves books and we are enjoying all of the time we get to spend reading together.

Here are some of our favorite new words and phrases by Harrison: "one more," "oval," "school," "home," "good morning," "night, night," and "puppies."
