So, at the end of October, we went down to Florida to visit my parents. They have a place near Tampa and are spending about 7 weeks there this fall, so we brought baby down for a visit.
Knowing I would have limited space in my suitcase for the return trip (Mum and I like to shop for baby at the outlet mall near their house), I didn't bring a lot of toys down with me. They have a playpen, highchair, etc., so they're pretty well equipped with baby stuff, but within a day or so it became apparent that we needed more toys for her. So,off to Walmart!
One of the things we got, partially for nostalgia's sake, as they were so hugely popular when I was a kid, was a Tickle-Me-Elmo. Baby quite enjoyed him, as did the rest of us. Unfortunately, as the suitcases were very full heading home, he had to be left behind. The plan is for Mum and Dad to bring him home with them when they come in a couple of days, but in the meantime, Elmo has been up to some tricks...

It started off well and good, just one ticklish monster hanging out by the pool. But then...

| Elmo got a little drunk last night |

| And then he passed out on the bathroom floor |
Apparently, Elmo either has very little self control, or simply can't hold his liquor. The next day he was trying to make ammends though:
 |
| Elmo was grounded, and had to do chores all day |
Fortunately, poor Elmo seems to have turned himself around, and gotten back on the bandwagon, so to speak.We haven't hear much from him over the last couple of weeks, but we did get a couple pictures...
 |
| Elmo loves to read... trashy romance novels, apparently |
 |
| It's okay; he's comfortable in his masculinity |
Mum and Dad get home from Florida tomorrow night; hopefully they remember to bring Elmo home with them. Even though baby enjoys him very much, I think the rest of us enjoy him even more. Can't wait to see what he gets up to next!
Later Days!
