I noticed a recent trend prevailing obsessions about boys. They all pass, and some are more fun than others. Some serve a purpose (like C only for dinner to eat if Audioslave played), others the stuff of waking nightmares.
From the beginning, C was obsessed with Elmo. I tried with all my strength to move towards a less exasperating, Sesame Street, but no. Cookie Monster had a shot, but failed.C was 1 and know how to rewind and replay the video tape we had Elmo (my parents once spent the better part of a day watching Elmo for hours because they did not realize was the C Restart the tape when they left the room).

I started having fantasies ignorance of Zack and Wheezy clapping and turning on Emmy and Max, and hope their mother does not clean their room one day and throw away the dragon scale. Alas, although it appears occasionally as a tactic to stall bedtime, this too has disappeared....
