Elmo, meet your long lost twin.

sept20d

Elmo joined our family on Christmas Day 2008. Allie immediately became very possessive of him and wouldn't allow her sisters to play with him. One day, Grammy adopted another Elmo from Target so that Anna could have one as well. Elmo's twin ended up in the basement during a toy rotation and I think we kept him there as "back-up" Elmo in case Allie's Elmo was lost. As you can see, I think she would figure out that he's not her Elmo.

A few weeks ago, Rich found "back-up" Elmo as he was rotating toys and placed him the family room to see what Allie's reaction would be. I really thought she would be mad and growl, "That's not my Elmo. Get him out of here." But no, her reaction was quite the opposite.

He is now called Elmo's twin. I tried to name him Omle but she immediately shot that down. She refers to both Elmo and his twin as her buddies. She is such a cute little mommy.

Elmo and his twin have enjoyed grocery shopping with their mommy. (Check out the shopping list in the cart with them.)

And napping in the great outdoors.

I haven't been able to take a picture of it yet but Elmo's twin is now sporting a huge princess sticker on his tummy.

Welcome home, Elmo's twin!
